Assistive Technology.

My last and final project of this IT 365 course was an assistive technology assignment.  In this assignment, I had to explore the internet help options and figure out ways to accommodate certain things on web pages.  The reasoning behind all of this is to make things easier for people that have disabilities of sorts, such as visual disabilities, hearing disabilities, etc.  This is assignment was, actually, rather confusing at first, but once Dr. Parker went over it with us, it was a breeze and tremendously helpful.  I had not known before how to do any of the things in the assignment or how to accomplish any of the learned tasks from this assignment.  It was extremely helpful.  Learning how to use the magnifier and print screen, as well as toggle keys and the accessibility keyboard, will be of great worth to me in the future.  I thought I knew computers before taking this class, but I obviously had a lot more to learn.  I think that this assignment would fall into the CC objective of presentation of knowledge and ideas: Making strategic use of visual displays of data to enhance understanding.
