These are some of my favorite reads, If you don’t have one yet, I would highly recommend picking up a news reader to keep track of everything. According to my logs, FeedDemon (for PC) and NetNewsWire (for Mac– lite version for free) are the most popular, but there are an abundance of options out there. Once you have a reader, you can import subscriptions to individual rss feeds or grab the OPML file below to import all of the accessibility sites. If you want to learn more about RSS and Syndication, I would recommend An Introduction to RSS for Educational Designers by Stephen Downes or Sharing Your Site with RSS by Jason Cook.

If you have any additional suggestions, please contact me, I’ll be adding to the list regularly

It took me awhile to decide if I really wanted to started a blog. In the past year I’ve seen many become completely useless and wanted to make sure I was ready to jump in with both feet. Two things helped me to decide: 1) this will help me to more systematically review and archive resources that I come across and 2) as far as I know, there isn’t anyone else who has specifically tackled accessible distance education in the blogosphere. So if you’re here, hopefully you can find something useful.

Why Curb Cut Learning? You have likely heard of the curb cut principle– the idea that while curb cuts were originally intended for persons who use wheelchairs they are also convenient for a number of other sidewalk uses such as strollers, bicycles, grocery carts, and luggage. While you can always go back and retrofit your instruction so that it is universally accessible, it is usually easier to do so from the get go.

Thanks for stopping by,
