  • Web 2.0Web 2.0 "read/write" online applications are great, but some have accessibility barriers: see the section about flash players above; visual CAPTCHAs for creating an account - or worse, for adding a comment - also block blind people.However, the Web 2.0 platforms are improving, and so is accessive technology. Moreover, people with some types of disabilities (cognitive, reading, but also severe motor disabilities) can be very keen on using them - think of social networking - and yet particularly need guidance in this. So schools cannot just simply ignore them: compromises must be found.If your school has an accessibility consultant, ask him/her. Otherwise, there is a LinkedIn Web 2.0 Accessibility Forum (you'll have to sign up, but it is free).

    I think this is a great find! This wiki site offers detailed information on how to make your webpages accessible to people with disabilities.

    I chose this site because, as I was browsing before, I saw SO MANY devices and links for students with visual and auditory issues, but very little (in comparison) for physical and cognitive issues. In this article/video, I was amazed to read and see a student able to be successful even though he could only use his eyebrows!

    This site was touching. It does a great job of hooking the reader into the cause of advocacy for individuals with disabilities. I am very impressed with the progress that has been made through the DO-IT program. Edutopia is a great resource in itself.

    A better bookmark for this assignment would be DO-IT, because DO-IT perfectly meets the assignment requirement of information about web related issues of accessibility.
