[Trainer-Talk] Very basic websites for beginners

[Greg Aikens]

I find articles from the Braille Monitor and Access World. Over time I have cultivated a list of easy to navigate articles from Top Tech Tidbits. 

Wikipedia is also pretty easy for beginners and usually uses heading structure appropriately.

I also like BARD and Bookshare, and of course Google search for beginning with forms.

I use the American Foundation for the blind's site. 
www.afb.org
Speak to me catalog is a good example of a web site that is accessible, but contains no headings. 
Mystic Access has a good site also.
I take students to www.christalvision.com And to the Freedom Scientific site.

I encourage them to explore their favorite sites after they
learn to navigate.   

Please be blessed, happy, healthy and safe.

HI all.
As someone who has been out of this part of the training field for awhile, and who is re-entering it, I'm curious as to what websites you are using that are basic with your students for screen reader access?
I sometimes use nfbnewslineonline.org, but am curious as to other sites that people are using? I used to use Braille.wunderground.com, but that no longer exists. CNN was also a decent choice, but now there is so much video content as opposed to text, I'm not sure it's a good option for a beginner.
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated!

Stay safe and stay well,
Scott
