How does your understanding of auditory information change with and without captions? P.S. a favorite song to try this with is Pharrell's "Happy" in ASL with closed captions #ATisEverywhere #ISW24

ALT December 2nd-6th Inclusive schools week. A.T. Tip of the Day. How does your understanding of auditory information change with and without captions? Pick a song and watch the music video. Analyze videos with captions, paying attention to the lyrics, visual imagery, and how the two elements work together. Did you know the lyrics before watching the caption? See link in bio for steps on how to use closed captions in Windows 11 and a how to when using captions on Google Slides.

#EdTech is the smart way in. We couldn't agree more! So many people benefit from using audio to support reading and FCPS has so many great inclusive tools! Support #UDL, make tools available, & remember to use accessible text. #FCPSKeepCALM @ATS_FCPS @FCPS_EdTechTeam @fcpsnews

#FCPSKeepCALM - Use Text!
All text we use should be selectable and editable, not an image of text. You can check by highlighting the text. If you can select it, it's text. If not, it's an image of text. Accessible text is a key element of UDL. @ATS_FCPS @FCPS_EdTechTeam

It's #NationalMuffinDay! Baking muffins is like #Accessibility; you gotta add the good stuff before you bake them! Adding "berries" after is possible, but messy, difficult, & ineffective. Keep C.A.L.M. and Choose Accessible Learning Materials! #FCPSKeepCALM @ATS_FCPS @amustREED

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) isn’t about erasing differences to make “one-size-fits-all” lessons and assessments. Instead, it’s about recognizing barriers, naming them, highlighting them, celebrating them, and designing for them.

How can we get more people to know a little about #accessibility in k-12 education? What strategies have you used to build role-specific capacity? What ideas do you have? Thanks for the share, Rob Carr! @webaim #ATIA2024 @ATS_FCPS @FCPS_EdTechTeam
