LT 130 - Assistive Technology

Total Pageviews : Sue Palomares I added the Pageview gadget to my blog. Pageview is designed to count the number of times a Web page has been loaded into a browser . A pageview is a standard unit of measure that equals one single person loading one single web page. How Many Pageviews Do Popular Websites Get? Here are some examples of what some popular websites get:                 Google 223 million per month                      Youtube        194 million per month                      Facebook      130 million per month                      Twitter      85 million per month                      Amazon     83 million per month   Pageviews are a good way to see how many people are looking at your blogs and what comments are being posted for you.  We currently have 351 previews. We have created a fresh angle, new information in a unique way to inform us about our LT 130 Assistive Technology blog.                                             

I added a translate gadget. It can be found on the top left of the blog.  With the translate gadget, visitors to the blog can select their preferred language from the drop-down menu, and  it will display posts in any of the 50+ languages supported.

 There is a new gadget in town on the blog! Please note that there is contact form now available for blog readers. Unlike a comment on a specific post, the contact form can be used in case readers have an additional question for one of the site contributors, or if they perhaps would like to make a suggestion for a type of assistive technology post they would like us to cover.  The Contact Form gadget is on the left hand drop-down panel, beneath the list of blog contributors.

  What is the Digital Divide?   The definition of digital divide has continually evolved over the years. At its most basic, the term digital divide refers to the gap between those able to benefit from the digital age and those who are not. The high cost of computers creates a barrier between those who can and cannot afford one – and in turn creates a barrier to all the advantages that come with owning one. But it is more than that. The digital divide also includes the ability to make full use of the technology available, taking into consideration access, or lack of access, to the internet.  (What is the Digital Divide? 2019) These technologies give us opportunities to join online communities, gain knowledge, learn skills, and find employment, making lack of access for certain groups of people an important issue. How Does it Affect People With Disabilities?   The gap between those who do and do not have access to technology devices and high-speed internet is even further divide
