Participants will participate in a brief lecture-style learning experience and then break out as teams to learn about accessibility features of iPad and iPhones through hands-on, experiential learning and solve puzzles to save our ed-tech! Tools, including the built-in accessibility features of the personal iOS device, Google Forms, websites, and physical and digital locks, will be used to facilitate this session.
Objectives-
Participants will be able to locate and manage at least five accessibility features of iOS devices.
Participants will understand the value of using accessibility features to help students better access their educational environment.
Participants will be able to describe the use of at least three accessibility features.
-Introduction (3 minutes / lecture)
-Discussion of the use of accessibility features & set up (15 minutes / lecture & digital interaction)
-Escape Room play- Participants will work together to solve clues related to the accessibility features of iOS devices. Many of these clues will require participants to utilize the accessibility features to solve the clue. The session will come back intermittently to the full group to watch a video that reveals more information about accessibility features and guides participants through the escape room. (60 minutes / group activity)
-Debrief- participants will come back together to watch a wrap up of the escape, lean about any features they were not able to successfully solve, share out key take-aways, and discuss the potential use of these features in their practice. (10 minutes)
-Wrap Up- (2 minutes / Q&A)
