What I learned from this week’s lecture is the difference in teaching online classes. I learned that there are several misconceptions about online classes. One misconception of teaching an online course as an is feeling that you do not know your students. As an educator it is hard to get to know your students online because they have become limited in participation. Most students become comfortable and are more likely to participate in an in class setting rather than online. Reading on this topic has given me insight and is relatable to me because I do feel as if I cannot properly get to know my students while teaching virtual.

Personal information collected at a teacher's direction:
Certain features of the School Services permit a teacher to collect information about the class, as well as about individual students, such as attendance, results, answers submitted when playing Kahoot! games (including in response to open-ended questions) and performance on Kahoot! games.

Screen readers is a software program that allow blind or visually impaired users to read the text that is displayed on the computer screen with a speech synthesizer or braille display.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Screen readers are software programs that allow blind or visually impaired users to read the text that is displayed on the computer screen with a speech synthesizer or braille display. A screen reader is the interface between the computer's operating system, its applications, and the user. The user sends commands by pressing different combinations of keys on the computer keyboard or braille display to instruct the speech synthesizer what to say and to speak automatically when changes occur on the computer screen. A command can instruct the synthesizer to read or spell a word, read a line or full screen of text, find a string of text on the screen, announce the location of the computer's cursor or focused item, and so on. In addition, it allows users to perform more advanced functions, such as locating text displayed in a certain color, reading pre-designated parts of the screen on demand, reading highlighted text, and identifying the active choice in a menu. Users may also use the spell checker in a word processor or read the cells of a spreadsheet with a screen reader.

Screen readers are currently available for use with personal computers running Linux, Windows, and Mac, IOS, Android, and more. Each screen reader incorporates a different command structure, and most support a variety of speech synthesizers. Prices range from free to $1,200.
Screen readers are used mainly by people who do not have useful vision to read text on the screen. A screen reader can also be the product of choice for someone with vision that is useful for travel, but not for reading. In the long run, learning to listen to speech output will prove more productive for such individuals than struggling to read text while leaning close to the computer screen.

Here are some questions to ask when purchasing screen readers:

Is the screen reader compatible with your computer's operating system?

Does it work with the applications you plan to use?

Does it work with your braille display?

What keystrokes or gestures are used for the program's basic and advanced functions? Are the keystrokes easy to remember? Is it possible to change the key combinations if they conflict with those used by application programs?
