“.. an educational approach to curriculum and instruction using technology to enable students with diverse learning needs to be successful…”

If an Idea is delivered digitally, it’s accessible. If type is enlarged, it’s legible. If written words speak, they’re decipherable If symbols are added to sentences, they’re readable. If videos have captions, they’re watchable. If the text is foreign, it’s translatable. All students are digital kids. Digital kids are in control. Control is motivating, and personal. Personal choice equals access. If it is DIGITAL it is ACCESSIBLE! If it is DIGITAL it is ACCESSIBLE!
