__CAST UDL BOOK BUILDER__
¢ To see my PowerPoint Presentation, click the link above

The device I chose to explore to be used as a technology modification is called the CAST UDL Book Builder. I found this devise to be very beneficial and a great support for Zoey, the 10 year old 5th grade student who I am basing my lesson modification on. Zoey has Down Syndrome, a low-incidence disabilty, which effects her educational performance. I looked to the CAST UDL Book Builder as a tool for Zoey to employ in creating her own version of the fairy tale book, __The Three Little Pigs__. Prior to Zoey's actual use of the product for her own purpose, the devise would be used by Zoey and her aide to explore the original book version of the __The Three Little Pigs__. This original version would be turned into a digital book through CAST UDL Book Builder and used to introduce Zoey to the fairy tale along with the book builder program. After this Zoey would be able to use CAST UDL Book Builder more independently for her own purposes of creating another version of __The Three Little Pigs__.

Originally, the CAST UDL Book Builder system was created specifically for teachers to use in order to create their own digital books to help build their students reading skills. Even though the intended use is for teachers, I found this devise to be a valuable tool for students, offering them a structured format and guided queing system for creating thier own books. Students of all abilities could use this devise to learn about and practice writng organization and intended structure. Specifically, Zoey will use the program to learn about writing as a form of expression and how it fills many purposes. Zoey will be better able to engage with her own writing, making the process of writing more comfortable and relevent to her needs. I believe with the right introduction and support, Zoey's learning and knowledge would greatly bennefit from using the CAST UDL Book Builder system, which she would enjoy using and could have fun with at the same time!
