CR.4 Design Digital Content

Design

In My Life

I can use a template to design a birthday invitation for my child's birthday.

In My Work

I can add images to slide presentations and include alt text to ensure they can be described by screen readers for accessibility. (DI)

In My Education

I can apply headings to text within reports or blog posts to make it easier for readers to understand how the content is organized.

As a Teacher/Trainer

I can analyze my color choices when creating a slide presentation to make sure there is enough contrast between text and background. This is helpful for everyone, but especially for those with low vision or color blindness. (DI)
