Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path

In this week's Practical Ed Tech Tip of the Week newsletter I talked about making virtual presentations accessible to those who rely on captioning. Many of us like to share our slides with students and or colleagues to either follow along or to have as reference material after a presentation. If you're sharing your PowerPoint slides, run Microsoft's built-in accessibility checker before sharing your slides. 

Slideshows are, more often than not, accompanied by a great deal of speaking, so it’s no surprise that you might sometimes need to pause the audio during the presentation. PowerPoint allows you to do so with the click of a button.
