Kudos to the ladies presenting in Jailhouse Rock! Very impressed by those who have passed the DHS TT leveraging limited tools. #id24

@cariefisher Both. We do a bunch of eLearning development and there don't seem to be a ton of frameworks/resources for accessibility building or testing. The authoring tools seem to be the ones that provide guidance.

[Najia Sabir @NinjaSabre]

@cariefisher How does the accessibility framework/approach differ based on product type (i.e., website, mobile app, eLearning, etc.)? #id24

[Najia Sabir @NinjaSabre]

Useful a11y heuristics framework,

A6 - Adopting a “Teacher Leader” mindset and practice is one way for teachers to do this! Share resources, be a mentor, share expertise, encourage exchanges & foreign languages, incorporate global issues into everyday curriculum. #globaledchat

@NEAFoundation A6: Teachers have to be a key piece of creating a school/district/state vision on global ed, bc they are the boots-on-the-ground who will make it happen. We started with a listening tour of our city, and made certain teacher voice was a huge part of that. #globaledchat

[Najia Sabir @NinjaSabre]

Limited or unbalanced resources (funding, time, logistical support, low interest by peers or community) can hinder global ed. #GlobalEdChat #globaled18

[Najia Sabir @NinjaSabre]

Global Ed teacher-leaders support peers and learners by creating transformative classrooms through experiences/expertise sharing. (A1) #GlobalEdChat #globaled18

Case & point: "You can use these #globaled tools right you just have to subscribe!" https://t.co/nkTzaGkUSy #edtechchat #globaled18

[Najia Sabir @NinjaSabre]

How about an open curriculum repository for globaled that allows educators to not only draw from but also facilitates discussion? Many resources and networks are scattered, require registration, and are not sustainable in developing nations. #edtechchat

[Najia Sabir @NinjaSabre]

@jgmac1106 @elemenous I also worked out there; in spaces that had no tech, high tech, and some very low tech. I learned creativity and heart are key for low instructor turn over. Here is a great example: https://t.co/EhdIT2ojWS

[Najia Sabir @NinjaSabre]

Taking moments to put yourself into a space (virtually/culturally) that is different than what we know to build new connections. #edtechchat

[Najia Sabir @NinjaSabre]

Making the invisible (fuzzy constructs of global) visible can be hard. Advocacy and active engagement go a long way #edtechchat #globaled18

Our Global Fellows answer the question "Why might this project (Global Studies Schools) matter to the community?" #dcpsgoesglobal

@torreytrust great capture of the conversation. Thanks for modding. Discovered a new tool with Storify, nifty!
