This edWebinar will take educators into best practices around accessibility and help educators see the benefits of accessibility and why it matters to EVERY classroom. This presentation will have educators thinking about why increased accessibility benefits ALL learners in a learning setting and not just multilingual students or students with special needs. Learn about accessibility and the accessibility features of Chromebooks, along with some favorite must-haves to increase access to classroom content.

This edWebinar will be of interest to K-12 teachers, school leaders, education technology leaders, and teachers of students with special needs. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
