CONCLUSION

In conclusion, Web 2.0 tools can be used in education to benefit students and teachers and help remove a variety of barriers to learning.  The three tools showcased in this e-book, Bubbl Us, Storybird, and Wikispaces Classroom, all targeted several different barriers and helped certain students to overcome their obstacles.  Therefore, using Assistive Technologies for Learning (ATL) while planning a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) ensures that a seamless accommodation is created for students with barriers to learning, resulting in happier youth who are excited to learn and be educated.
