>I thought I would pass this along to the list,
ED-MEDIA, part of the Association for the Advancement of
Computing in Education is hosting their first-ever accessibility
strand during a conference to be held in Denver next June. The call
for papers is at the end of October. I thought individuals on this
list might be interested in the information. As the WebAIM director,
I encourage those of you who are engaged in accessibility work to
respond to this call. It would be fabulous to get a lot of us out
there and provide a solid presence on the need and the work of
accessibility in education and technology. Thank you for your
consideration.
