I know the #iTeachMath feed collects posts relating to maths education, but is there a feed more geared towards recreational maths?

For those curious about the "what counts as a professional degree" headlines lately, here are paywall-free links to some good explainers. The headlines come from changes in how much grad students can borrow through federal programs & how it will be repaid. #EduSky

Consistent layout makes websites easier to navigate and understand as it helps users learn what elements to expect and in what order. This is especially helpful to low vision users or blind users using a screen reader. It also helps those with cognitive and learning disabilities.

@a11yawareness.bsky.social do you have/know of resources for math and science teachers trying to make their materials accessible? We are struggling with things like alt text that is detailed enough for a learner to answer questions (climate maps, complex graphs). 1/2

Templates could be designed and coded according to web accessibility standards, but this won't ensure that the final product would be accessible. Content creators still need to know about key accessibility concepts, including alt text, link text, and proper headings.

Hyperlink text should make sense when read out of context. Screen reader users can navigate from link to link, and can listen to links in a list. When navigating this way, only the link is read. So "click here" or "read more" won't make sense.

When creating PDFs, avoid using "Print to PDF." A screen reader user may still be able to access the text of PDFs created this way, but heading structure, alternative text, and any other tag structure will be lost. Using "Save As" or "Export" can preserve these tags.
