S5E4 - How might we make conferences, schools, and classrooms more accessible through technology?

Episode Notes

Enable learning for all with simple choices. Learn how to make learning more accessible through audio, visuals, and built-in settings on mobile devices. Understand how both good pedagogy and technical skills can contribute to a more inclusive environment at conferences, in classrooms, and in schools.

Understand how to be more inclusive in three simple areas: audio/sound, visual/presentations, and software (built-in OS settings). Evidence of success will be a better awareness of blind spots around accessibility tools; comments like, “Wow, that never occurred to me, and it’s so simple to make that adjustment,” will be the expectation.

Instructional strategies are simple, yet powerful and inclusive.
