Assistive technology

I think the most interesting part of this assignment was definitely the simulations. Some of them, like the screenreader and distractability ones, were really hard and I couldn't even do them! It was a good way to think about how technology can be difficult for some people with disabilities, but it was also good that there were suggestions given on how to create websites that would be easier for these people to use.

I agree with you about the simulations. I think they were pretty interesting too. I had a lot of trouble with the distractibility simulation too. I was getting so frustrated with it. Doing the simulations really helped me to get a better understand of how students with a disability feel. I was getting so frustrated at the fact that I was unable to do the simulation. I cannot even imagine how students must feel and how frustrated they must get.

Hi Heather!!

How is your weekend going? Is it crazy like mine, trying to get everything in? And of course it is really nice out... would rather be outside than sitting her on the computer. Have you gotten to your brochure yet? Good luck see you MOnday--
