If the websites are built for it good but most are still in need of massive UEx and quality improvements also I spend too much time figuring out how to work them then learning if it’s straight forward great but most sights ar wonky. I can figure them out but half of the semester is spent finding ways problem solving stuff of that nature. Zoom is meh. It works for the most part it’s just the screen reader will read out the chats and when the teacher is speaking the screen reader is also going and the students are chatting and it’s like this is fucking distracting please stop can’t focus on 2 things at once.

Well I don’t do remote classes I do private studies which is basically the same but no zoom classes or teachers. And no lessons just if I need it I can get a appointment with a tutor that they provide.
I like that I can use technology more. My speech has gotten better weirdly and my laptop turns out can understand me pretty good. So I find my answer then I just say it out loud and it types it up for me. So I don’t lose my place. This is a feature I wouldn’t be able to do in class because well I can’t just speak loudly and clearly like that in the middle of class.
Another thing with technology that I can do now is use my phone without being constantly questioned about why I have my phone out.
Also I have tons of google apps on my phone that are the same as from my laptop and connected. Because sometimes somethings are easier on my phone then my laptop. So that’s how I do photos I just have them and they go to my google photos and google photos is on my laptop. Or for some things I can just email them to myself. Sometimes it’s hard to deal with all that on my laptop when I easily can do it on my phone.
Also I no longer fall down stairs in front of mass crowds lol....... or hills. It doesn’t happen often but in the two years I went to this one school it happened 2 times with the stairs and 3 times with the hill. So no longer worry about a accessible campus because it’s your own home. (It’s not even me the main stairs are decorative so they are a huge step like literally they go up to my waist because I’m 5ft 1) And the place I live is just very hilly and has lots of mountains.
And no bullies. Literally they can’t bully me because I don’t even know who is going to my school this year for sure or what they are up to at all.
A con is that I do miss some people and I do actually miss the classic classroom setting. Because I like to socialize.(i even miss this one girl that would pop up out of no where all cherry and try to talk to me for half a hour during our 5 minute passing period and was a member of some school spirit thing. So she constantly wore our school colors and said how much she loved school. Nice but annoying)
Well that’s my rant.

If done well, remote classes can be significantly more accessible. That is a pretty big if, though.
In remote learning, all resources are digital. So, that excludes the problem where some resources are paper-only. However, resources can be just as inaccessible if they are, say, just a bunch of images, or a video with only music as it's soundtrack, or , say, an exercise where the only way to solve it is using the mouse. There's a lot of things to keep track of.
