I learned that students with dyslexia cannot be rushed to answer a question and if they are able to discuss online at their own pace they are able to answer the question better. I also feel the text messaging serves the same purpose of giving the students time to think about to type or text to make sure they get their wording correct as well.

#29 Samantha Wood on 29 Jul 13Katie, I learned from your site that it is a legal requirement to make websites accessible for those with disabilities. Of course lots of them do not and there is an increase in how the web is and is becoming more accessible for people with disabilities. For example, there are screen readers that have made working the web for the blind possible. There are many other techniques and equipment that have made using the web easier. There is still more to come in the future as well.
