Accessibar

Posted by lyndall on March 6, 2008

Dan has come across a Firefox add-on called ‘Accessibar’ that provides flexibility in learning for students with special needs. This add-on can suit the learner’s needs and provide easier navigating of the Internet. In particular, it assists those individuals who have low vision. The colours on the toolbar can be modified, and text can also be added and spaced to support the user. What makes this add-on so great is that it’s free! As Paul states - teachers shouldn’t be so adament on using only Internet Explorer all the time. We should be open to a variety of programs - explore them and use the best aspects from each one!
