20 tools for a more accessible classroom

20 tools for a more accessible classroom

Technology tools allow us to create a learning environment that is accessible to ALL students. So where can we find these features? Here are 20 tools that help you reach all learners.

ALL of our students deserve to have access to the content we are teaching. A one-size-fits-all classroom is not practical for any group of students. Luckily with the technology available to us, we can create a learning environment that makes the content accessible to all of our learners.

Matter of fact many of the technology tools we already use have embedded accessibility features ready to use. So where can we find them? And which tools are available for different learning needs?

In a recent #Ditchbook chat, we discussed how to create an accessible classroom for everyone. Participants shared their favorite accessibility features along with extensions and add-ons that help us reach all learners.

Scroll down to find 20 tools to make your classroom accessible to all students. Also, be sure to check out this Wakelet collection to see the entire chat.
