Grand CD  

Description

This presentation will cover the goal of the California School for the Blind's SRT website, current offerings, and tentative future features. It is meant for beginners to have a feasible way to learn foundational screenreader skills, with the benefit of being fun and interactive. It is meant to be self-paced, and completely accessible. There are also pages that are intentionally made without full accessibility to show students what a "bad" web page looks like compared to a well-made one.
