My guest today is Tim Batiuk. He's been an online teacher and currently is chief technology officer at SYS Education LLC. Tim is one of us. He has taught at the elementary level online and currently works to support and drive teachers forward in their use of technology to meet the needs of all students. He's passionate about UDL and is always willing to help educators implement the framework. In this episode we take a deep dive into UDL - universal design for learning.

It's a framework for thinking and planning that requires us to look through a lens larger than our own personal lived experiences, preferences or needs.

This orange (amber) wine episode discusses winemaking, the origins of the style, and what makes them unique. They aren't red wines, despite skin maceration and fermentation. They aren't white wines, despite being made with white grapes. And they are not rose' wines. They are their own thing, and are the subject of much more press and literature than a decade ago.
