Practical Physical Educator Tools for Evaluating and Using App Accessibility Features
Ross, Samantha M.; Ross, Anne S.; Abrahamson, Kayla; Wyant, James
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, v94 n2 p30-43 2023
Students with disabilities may experience barriers to curriculum when inaccessible apps are incorporated into the classroom. To support physical educators, this report offers guidance on identifying (section I) and using (section II) app accessibility features within physical education classrooms. Example applications and resources are shared that will empower educators to evaluate and effectively integrate accessible apps within their own practice. A checklist and illustrative examples, FlipGrid & Padlet, provide physical educators with a practical approach to integrating apps that are high in accessibility features (e.g., closed captioning, alternative text for images, screen reader compatibility), create inclusive learning spaces (e.g., multi-modal participation options), and reduce barriers to curriculum and learning.
