I agree. Write up some curriculum for that. :)

Already working on it! :D

This is great, YES YES YES! Accessibility (like I18N!) is "easy" if you start doing it from scratch.

I'd love to see some project and assignment proposals around this, too.

I'll try to work in some stuff this week!

@kerrizor, on the topic of assignments, would it make sense at all to piggy back on whatever HTML/CSS assignments are currently in play? I'd love to have the students integrate a11y principles into something they've already been working on to make the process seem relevant. I'm also totally open to creating a separate set of HTML/CSS samples/exercises, whichever fits in best with the way the course is moving.

Would you be available to do a day of guest lecturing on the topic of a11y when we get to it? We're going to be reorganizing the week schedule based on feedback from the volunteer's meeting as well as our own planning, and will be constructing a guest/TA/volunteer calendar in the next few days.

@kerrizor Absolutely! I would love to.

Verrrrrrry rough outline of a possible a11y lesson for the HTML/CSS unit: https://github.com/dpersing/curriculum/blob/master/lessons/06_html_a11y.md

@dpersing Looks like a great start! In the future I think it would be helpful to submit changes as a pull request so that people can easily make suggestions / corrections. Does that make sense?

from lessonplanning.

For some reason I thought you had pushed to ada/master, but I see it's your fork. Can you open a pull request for it?

@RobinClowers Done! #27

Sorry, I've been off the grid, as they say.
