Erica, thanks for sharing. I want to share with you a website called QUIZIZZ (Quizizz.com). Quizizz is a site that offers formative assessments that are played in a game format making them fun.  Quizizz is student-paced for all grade levels from kindergarten to adults. Quizizz can be played on devices with a browser to included desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. There are lots of Qizizz available besides; you can create your quiz. The Quizizz platform does offer read aloud, music, memes, sound effects, and zoom.  During this time of Digital Learning, I feel teachers may find this website useful.  Check out the site and let us know if we can use this with the students with blindness and visually impaired.

Such an awesome find Teresa!  I went onto the site to check it out and it is really chock-full of educational content for students.  I will certainly look into it more and check to see how accessible it is.  In the meantime it is a great resource for educators!  Thank you for sharing!
