Leslie considers it an honor to have worked with educators for so long and tries not to focus on the fact it also means she is getting older. She also wants to make sure any educator or person that supported educators in 2020, 2021 and beyond is freakishly awesome and quite appreciated.

Session description

Get an overview of some of the handiest accessibility features in a variety of operating systems, devices and solutions.
