Here is another great article I found by FINALLY going through my Google Reader. And I MUST SHARE THIS SITE WITH YOU so you can add it to your RSS feeds: free4teachers.com. I have found SO MANY resources in 5 minutes!

Great find Kristen! I like all the extra links down on the left side of the page (Favorite Resource List). I am definitely adding this to my RSS feed.

I choose this site because of the online chats it offers and the networking through Ning, live blogs and listservs. It also offers great resource links for families and teachers.

I didn't immediately see the web related accessibility aspects in your bookmark, but then I also didn't have time to search the page you bookmarked. Diigo allows you to highlight and bookmark specific sections of webpages. You should find an Internet or web 2.0 related section on the page you bookmarked. Highlight & bookmark that section. Or bookmark a webpage clearly focused specifically on web related issues of accessibility.

This article is the starting point for our collaborative research. The focus is barriers to learning due to accessibility issues, but research may include information on accessibility on the web as a whole. Do not limit your research to Web 2.0 techniques. I have no expertise in this area. We are learning about this together and I look forward to what you'll be teaching me! Please tag your bookmarks with S10accessibility. You are free to use additional tags, but it is important use the S10accessibility tag so that we all can find the bookmark, even in delicious.

This article was an eye opener to me. I knew there was need for accommodations for those with disabilities, but had not gone as far as to think how the web may not work with some of these accommodations. The article that I found was mainly about how yahoo is addressing these issues so it can be accessible to all users. The web big guns realize there is a problem and are trying to address it. With Web 2.0 you have so many contributors. How do you inform people of the need of accessibility for all

I feel a little silly making the following comment but, I found this article very touching. As I read, I found myself imagining what it would be like to have a disability and not have the opportunity to have the experiences and the freedoms that only can be offered via the Web and interfacing with computers. I am willing to advocate for people with disabilities who deserve the right to have accessability.

This blog has noted an Iphone app that is an IEP checklist for parents. It is an interesting feature for parents to have. Parents can have the template infront of them and ask teachers questions as they go through the IEP meeting.
