Hello! It is now the end of the semester, and it’s time to wrap up Digital Studies. For my final project, I have done something on the web about digital accessibility. More specifically, I created a lesson plan, a lesson walkthrough, and set up the webquest that the lesson plan is talking about! As a future teacher, this seemed to be the best way to show what I learned and do something new for the internet. My video walk through is posted on YouTube, and now my lesson plan will be accessible on the internet! I used real VA SOLs, so this is actually a lesson that could be taught in a US History classroom! Lesson plans and creating lesson materials requires you to be an expert in the materia, so while lesson plans are something I am familiar with, it still took a lot of work to be comfortable putting together a lesson plan.

Above I have attached a picture of my lesson plan, a link to it, a link to my youtube video, a picture and link to the webquest, and a picture of the word bubble I made as an example of step 1 of the webquest.
I used many aspects of the internet; articles, powerpoint, internet, videos, Canvas, chrome extension, simulation, word cloud application, etc. to do something on the internet about the internet.
I enjoyed doing my final assignment on digital accessibility because this directly relates to my future career in Special Education, but I also think this is something that everyone should learn about, and the simulation especially, can help grow empathy and understanding.
I hope you enjoyed my project of digital accessibility and doing something about the internet on the internet!
