Article 1: “What is Accessible Technology”

My Web My Way http://www.bbc.co.uk/accessibility/

Just a couple thoughts about this cool site…It’s really very neat how you can change your computer to serve your whims, needs, or desires. I thought it was very interesting that you could magnify the screen. This will come in handy when I am projecting my computer onto the tv in my classroom. It’s often difficult for the kids to see what I am doing especially with the distortion from going from computer to tv. I also love the idea of enlarging the mouse pointer so that you can really use it as an instructional tool (well, at least a larger pointer!). Although I will not try it myself, I can see the utility of changing your keyboard commands and how your keyboard responds to typing – neat & useful features. Overall, a great resource. I think I will show this to my students, too!
