GEG Brasil Accessibility | For a More Inclusive Classroom

Since the beginning of the year, GEG Brasil has made a joint effort to help educators find and use the resources for a more inclusive classroom. To this end, GEG Leaders and Google Innovators in Brazil collaborated on an open doc on accessibility broadly advertised in the educational community, and we also had a live session with Laura Allen and Kara Booker, both Accessibility Program Managers in Google, who work with Chrome and Chrome OS Teams.
