Peer Response Post #5 – Marco Chong

Marco’s post effectively highlights the importance of UDL and accessibility in both physical and digital settings. I’d like to build on your point about ensuring accessibility in online settings by emphasizing the value of flexible deadlines. This is something that not all educators do, but should. It not only benefits students managing busy lives but also supports those dealing with challenges like unexpected life events or learning differences. Additionally, your reflection on ethical challenges in EdTech, particularly privacy, is crucial. Beyond tracking, I’d suggest educators ensure transparency in how data is used and seek student consent if they do want to use sites that may use students’ private information.
