There was some talk about an AccessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) Lesson Plan and there was someone I had in mind who may be able to help with that. She may try to make the meeting today, or at least lurk today’s meeting.

From Don’s comment on the last post:

At one point we were talking about redesigning the lesson plans. Whatever became of that? Do we have a new format and flow? If not, is that still the plan to do? And if that is still the plan, should we really start updating the plans, only to presumably overhaul them in a month or four?

More support for using version control. Since it’s hard to have a one-size fits all Lesson Plan, we could have branches that reflect different takes on the same Plan.

To add: I have a question around slides for the diversity speakers workshop series
