Accessible App Design in Education
Every single child has the right to education, as stipulated in the Convention of the Rights of the Child. Education is closely associated with higher-paying jobs, a healthier life, social security and opportunities for full participation in society. However, until this day, there are children whose right to education is still denied. In the following paragraphs I will be speaking about one of the most marginalised and excluded (willingly, or not) groups in society: children with disabilities.

What is the first thing you reach out for when you wake up in the morning?

Education and technology into the 2020s: who’s next?
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times”. Of course Dickens was not referring to the emerging trend of digitalisation. And I bet he wouldn’t have thought that this society-transforming innovation could actually influence the way children are taught. But he got one thing right: this is how people react when it comes to change. We experience conflicting emotions because we long for change but we also fear it.
