My name is Jessica Stephens. I rearranged the gadget order and made a post about relevant books. I also added a quote to the gadget list.

 Greetings!  My name is Kiera, one of the contributors to the LT 130 Libraries and Assistive Technology blog. I added the resources widget. The widget allows contributors to post websites or videos that they have found informative. What got me interested in assistive technology is my younger brother; he has Central Auditory Processing Disorder and dyslexia. Through his experiences I have been introduced to some wonderful assistive technologies and have been able to see firsthand their impacts. I hope that what I will share will be of benefit to the reader. I am currently working towards becoming a school librarian so most of what I will be sharing will be linked to education and learning. Below I have shared an infographic explaining a variety of assistive technologies that are commonly used in the classroom. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions at khsunderland09@gmail.com.   Image from Middle Tennesse State University Center for the Study and Treatment of Dyslexia

 Hello! I am new to blogger and am looking forward to increasing my knowledge on the program. I believe this will be a great tool to have under my belt for any future careers in technology. I went ahead and added an appropriate photo from Penn Creative Strategy a company that promote inclusion for all people with disabilities. 

Hello! This is my first time creating a blog and I went through the process of setting up the Blogger site   and inviting co-creators. I also picked out a theme for the background. Blogging should be a fun experience, I can't wait to get started!
