Stoked to see that @canva has options for alternative text for the elements! Thanks, @mrbillywatts, for letting me know about my long-wished-for function! For elements in Canva, there is alternative text, but you can add to what they have or mark it as decorative! #BeAnA11yA11y

Today, Judy Heumann, passed away. *No words* can begin to describe the influence she has had on tangible, positive changes in the world for people with disabilities. Our hearts go out to her family. Her memory will forever be a blessing. #JudyHeumann

Have you heard? The U.S. Senate passed a resolution yesterday that declared March 1st as National Assistive Technology Day! #ATAwarenessDay #A11y

[Ashley Thomas @ATforNASD]

Happy National Assistive Technology Awareness Day! Let's celebrate the power of technology in enhancing accessibility and independence for people with disabilities. Let's continue to promote inclusive and equitable opportunities for all. #ATAwarenessDay

Who brought the @panerabread Cream of Chicken & Wild Rice soup you may ask? 🙋‍♀️ Me, it was me! It's the #MVP in my book. Everyone else killed it with their homemade soups🏆

[NASD Special Education Department @nasdspecialed]

We had a "Souper Bowl" luncheon today and it's safe to say they were #AllWinners. 😋 #TeamSoup #SouperBowl

@Chris_Grosse #5 there’s no alternative. It’s the best.

So, the Accessibility Experience Team at Twitter is no longer. We had so much more to do, but we worked hard! There aren't very many people that have had the opportunity to make such an important global platform like Twitter accessible, but we understood the mission.

I just registered for #WPA11yDay, a free, virtual 24-hour conference on WordPress accessibility happening on November 2nd and 3rd, and you should too! Get your free ticket at https://t.co/8jvuxuIXwh #WPAD2022 #WordPress #a11y

Another cool way to use Screencastify!

[Suzanna Hidalgo @SuzannaTweets]

Did you know that you could use @Screencastify to create an audio MP3 file? And then insert that audio file onto a Google Slide? And then change the appearance of the audio icon with just a right click? 🔊 #TechTipTuesday
