Reflection
Learning about assistive technology was incredibly eye opening and informative. When looking over my website I never realized how many diverse things can make technology inaccessible for many. Personally my website had several contrast errors. I originally chose colours that I liked and thought look aesthetically pleasing. Now I know how hard it is to see font against certain colours making even my website hard to use. I think contrast is a very common issue across many website making it hard for people with vision problems to use digital resources. Also learning how to make post more accessible to individuals that use screen readers was interesting. It’s as simple as adding headings to break up text but that is never something that crossed my mind. I hope as I move forward in my use of technology I am thoughtful about how I can use and create assistive technology.
