Senior leaders from the Northwest EdTech Hubs explain how an inclusive practice is at the foundation of their whole approach to Teaching and Learning.
'I think you have to be really careful about imposing strict parameters on students. Sometimes I think there needs to be a flexibility to make sure it meets the needs of all learners.
I don't think there's enough done to educate teachers and students on accessibility features for students. So the tools that can be used within Google or within Microsoft, all the different products, the way an iPad might be used, the way a Chromebook might be used, in order to meet particular accessibility requirements'
