Their approach demonstrated how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) can break barriers and open up new opportunities for all learners. 🎥 Kelli and Michelle's session, "Accessibility Matters: Tips and Tools for Video and Social Media Design," provided invaluable insights into creating inclusive digital content. Their practical tips and tools empower educators and content creators to ensure that all students have equal access to learning materials. A big thank you to Amanda, Luis, Michelle, and Kelli for their dedication and for highlighting the importance of accessibility in education. We also extend our gratitude to ISTE for providing the platform to share these crucial insights. At CAST, we are committed to advancing #Accessibility and #InclusiveEducation.
