I have written and published a new article about accessible documents on the Maine CITE website. This is the first of a series I plan to write on the topic called Making Accessible Educational Documents. The articles are based upon the series of articles I wrote for the Maine State Government Office of Information Technology over the past two years and will refine the content, focusing it specifically on the needs of classroom teachers and educational administrators at all levels – Kindergarten through college.

As more and more curriculum and school-related content is being provided to students, parents and the general public in digital form, it is essential that these documents be created in a form that everyone can access.

The articles will also appear in print form in the quarterly newsletter published by the Association of Computer Technology Educators of Maine (ACTEM).

The first in the series is called Making Text Documents Accessible and deals with word processor and Portable Document Format (PDF) documents .

Also featured on the new web resource will be quick tips and resources to help teachers and educational administrators communicate better with their constituents.
