Join us as we hear from educators across the globe discussing “Accessibility”.
Sessions are as follows:
‘Accessible design (Docs & Slides) for all users’
Speaker: Wendy Peskett
Accessible design in your Docs and Slides is easy to achieve. Come along and find out how accessible design is good design for all users.
By the end of your session you will be thinking about adaptations such as alt text, colour combinations, designing for screen readers, closed captions and ways to highlight important areas of text, and start making your Docs and Slides accessible to all users.
‘Chrome book Accessibility Tips and Tricks’
Speaker: Sharon Planter
Are you new to Chromebooks? Maybe you have experience of using but not yet explored the accessibility features in full then this is the session for you. Whether you are teaching or training this session will explore accessibility features in your chromebook for your display, text to speech, mouse cursor with handy keyboard shortcuts and so much more.
You will definitely be able to develop an inclusive style of communicating with your audience with a quick, smart professional appearance by the end of the session.
Speech to text to allow all to succeed
Speaker: Francesca Bury
Do you have students in your classes that struggle expressing themselves when writing/typing, but can talk clearly with good reasoning? Here is where dictation comes in. Join me for a guide to set up and the use of speech to text in the context of making sure every student can succeed.
By the end of the session you will have more ideas on making your classroom even more inclusive.
