Accessibility Articles
Your wiki article is to be short, but substantive. Give it some meat. Say something useful. Your article for our class wiki is not to be a list. Don't summarize a selection of items you found online. You can't write something meaningful if you create a list and write a couple of sentences about each list item.

Focus your article. Write 200 - 400 words about it. Write about education/learning related issues concerning 'disabilities and web 2.0' or 'language barriers and web 2.0'. Some web 2.0 techniques are podcasts, blogs, wikis, social networking, social tagging.


 * 1) Choose ONE learning challenge and ONE web 2.0 technique. (for example an ELL and podcasting, or a visually impaired student and blogging)
 * 2) Describe why a disabled person would benefit from using the web 2.0 technique that you selected.
 * 3) Describe the barriers that the disabled person would face trying to use the web 2.0 technique you selected.
 * 4) Describe what it would take for the disabled person to be able to use the web 2.0 technique you selected. This may involve assistive technologies, or assistance from another student, the teacher or an assistant.
 * 5) Tag your article with descriptive key words so that it will show up in the tag cloud below.
