Just started my Web Accessibility journey with the Practical Accessibility course by @sarasoueidan.com.
I’m honestly thankful and stoked to have the opportunity to build a solid foundation with this course.

This week I'm starting to work on a new BONUS chapter for the Practical Accessibility course. ✨
This is the first of a few chapters I want to add to the course this year.

Thank you for putting this course together - it is by far the best I've ever been through. I was so impressed with the organization of the course. It was well thought out and I felt the order of the chapters worked exceptionally well. You dug into topics I thought I had a good handle on and provided context I didn't know I needed! The chapter on semantic HTML was a prime example of this. I appreciated the mix of learning modalities - I could watch the video and dig deeper into the material using the transcript. There is a wealth of information in there! I loved, loved, loved the chickens joining in from time to time! I'm sad that I finished the course... but wait - I can go through it again! 😉 Jill Bateman, CPACC Digital Accessibility Coordinator, Ohio University, OIT Office of Information Security and Digital Accessibility

Also, I'm almost ashamed to say that I had no idea that there was now a <search> HTML element?!
Just goes to show how easy it is to miss things when working with the fast moving worlds of CSS/JS now #PracticalA11y
Having that moment today after watching just enough of #PracticalA11y that I realise how hard some areas of our site must be to navigate for screen reader users.
Learnt a lot about landmarks this week and the best way of using them to signpost content.
Despite common misconception – `<div>` and `<span>` are semantic HTML elements – they represent generic containers and map to the aria `role=generic` (meaning that their content has no semantic meaning on it's own) #PracticalA11y
Work buys us access to Practical Accessibility and puts it on the onboarding list for everyone in Library Technology Services! 😍
