AT Presentations
Assistive Technology Presentation (Pre-recorded and captioned video)
Students will work in pairs to introduce a specific assistive device to the class that is relevant to either COVID or Accessible Voting. They will create and share a 10-minute video (with captions) describing this technology, and prepare to lead a 10-minute in-class discussion. The video should focus on summarizing the technology, and the discussion should focus on the impact of that technology.
Students may pick the technology they present but must use the AT Presentation Signup to post their topic to ensure there is no overlap between pairs.
