    This is really cool. I typed in the web address for my district and it came up with errors and alerts.

    I chose to comment on Kathy's shared bookmark: "Henshaws College and Jisc launch an accessible YouTube website". I use Youtube all the time with my students and even though the website Kathy mentioned is focused for people with disabilities I will be using this in my classroom. "Access YouTube" is so much easier to look for videos and you don't have all the other "stuff" that you get on regular YouTube. I think this is an advantage because so often the content on the perimeters of YouTube are not classroom appropriate. There are no advertisements or "other" YouTube videos you would might like. Great disability (and non-disabled) website.

    Wow, I'm a new Mac user and I knew Apple had features that accommodate learning disabilities. But I didn't know that there were many features to help improve productivity and academic performance in reading proficiency, math, spelling, and more. One example that Apple uses is Text to Speech for students with cognitive disabilities. That is only one of many, check out all the features. I was amazed.

    Jara, If you have a list of the apps I would love to see it. I am always looking for educational apps (especially music ones) for my students and my own kids. Wendy

More and more teachers have their own website and it is fundamental that their website is accessible to all of their students, parents, administrators and possibly the community depending on the privacy level of the website,
