Access Matters Blog: Accessibility Checkers - 0 views

  •  
    I bookmarked this page as it really made me think about using websites in my classroom. It points out that the best test of any website is human interaction and judgement. As an educator, it is probably best for me to try a website out before expecting my students to use it...especially those with certain barriers. I don't want students becoming discouraged in their learning because of the tools I am expecting them to use. This blog goes on to give examples of what to test when using a website as well as evaluation tools.

Making Web 2.0 Accessibility Mainstream - 2 views

  •  
    I choose to bookmark this page as it did a nice job defining assistive technologies and web 2.0 accessibility. It provided examples of different assistive technologies, as well as discussed how website developers need to keep the "disabled" in mind so their product can meet the needs of all people.

WebAIM: Introduction to Web Accessibility - 2 views

  •  
    I chose to bookmark this webpage as it really made me think about the topic at hand. The internet offers opportunities to people with disabilities that were once unavailable. However, if a website is not created with web accessibility in mind, it really limits the users who could benefit the most. It is easy to understand as it provides great examples with links to more inforamtion as well as videos to watch on the topic. Great resource!
