----- Original Message ----- From: Prof Norm Coombs To: BLIND-L@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, April 28, 2007 4:48 PM Subject: Google Reaching Out for Accessibility (EASI Podcast) Google is actively reaching out to Internet users with disabilities and is working to make all of their products more accessible to this population. In March, Google came to the giant international conference on People with Disabilities and Technology produced by CSUN (California State University Northridge). Google had a booth and also gave a couple presentations. Next week, EASI's Podcast on conference presentations will provide the audio of a CSUN Google presentation and on the Podcast site will have a link to documents used in that presentation. We are excited to bring this to our EASI friends. This link will take you to a two-minute excerpt from the Google presentation: http://easi.cc/archive/g-promo.mp3 You can find the EASI Podcasts at http://easi.cc/podcasts/ There are 3 different Podcast feeds there. For this presentation select the conference Podcast feed which will take you to the page where you can subscribe. It will be posted next Thursday or Friday. EASI also is planning to host a live Webinar with Google folk in the next month or two. Watch for an announcement at: http://easi.cc/clinic.htm EASI, (Equal Access to Software and Information), is committed to using Podcasts, Webinars, online courses and interactive Internet tools to help institutions make their computer and information technology resources more accessible to users with disabilities.
