Description

Have you ever used a tech tool for student engagement without understanding how digitally accessible it might be? We did, too, especially during emergency remote learning. Our discomfort with this practice and our resulting curiosity led us to work with the Digital Accessibility Office to investigate five commonly-used tech tools (Jamboard, Kahoot!, Mentimeter, Padlet, and Poll Everywhere). Join us to learn about our process of creating scripts, developing tech tool activities, testing and interpreting test results, and as well as some of the shared and unique digital accessibility barriers these tools presented.
