    Where is the link to the article? How do I get to the article from what you have posted in this Diigo group? Take a look at how your classmates allowed us to read the articles and visit the websites they bookmarked. What is the difference between what they did and what you have done?

The Madtoe Strikes Again: Hands-free Graphic Design - 3 views

  • People wonder how I operate my Macintosh and Windows computers. While sitting in a wheelchair at my desk, I do my graphic and web designs by manipulating a Kensington ExpertMouse trackball on the floor with my right foot. Also, in order to type on a regular keyboard, I use a headstylus. On my Mac, I wouldn’t be able to work without the “Universal Access“ (AKA: Easy Access) sticky keys, which allows me to hold down more than one key at a time. On Windows, I use the “Accessibility Options” sticky keys, which is similar to “Universal Access” sticky keys. When no one is present to put my headstylus on me, I use KeyStrokes by AssistiveWare in conjunction with my trackball. KeyStrokes is a fully-functional advanced virtual on-screen keyboard that allows you to type with a mouse, trackball, head pointer or other mouse emulator to type characters into any standard Macintosh application (www.assistiveware.com/keystrokes.php).

      It meets the requirement because here she talks about issues faced while using Web 2.0. In this case, it is about building websites, but these are the same tools she would have to use to access anything online, hence to access Web 2.0 sites.

    Comment on something you learned from a classmate's bookmark about barriers that people with various disabilities face while they are online. Issues arise from various disabilities and/or language limitations.

Zac Browser - 0 views

  •  
    The Zac Browser allows children with autism and similar disorders experience the web comfortably. By limiting access to sites that have been deemed appropriate for children with these disorders, the browser reduces distractions and inappropriate material. And it even works with the Nintendo Wii remote!
