My mom was born and raised in Chile, had my older brother and sister there before immigrating to the U.S. where she met my dad and had me and my younger sister. She learned English and got a management position at a construction machine company where she was for many yers before having a spinal cord injury that paralyzed her. She now walks with the help of a spinal cord stimulator, which she is actually in the process of getting an additional stimulator because her current one is 10 years old and is needing some help. Learning how to walk again is an extremely difficult thing to do, especially as a new mother of 4, so for her wanting to get back to work she wanted to use the internet. That doesn't require walking, just typing. She unfortunately has severe nerve damage so her hands would frequently spasm or get stuck in positions while she tried to do things with her hands. Now almost 12 years later, you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at her that she's disabled, she's coming a very far way. But she still struggles with using her computer and her brain and memory are hazy so sometimes it takes longer for her to get things out. You would never know any of this by looking at her today, so i really appreciate them adding this and showing that some disabilities are severe but unnoticeable to other people

I always struggle when I'm googling something because everything i type in is what i'm thinking in my head to describe it, but its definitely not the best for google to understand. I just need to take a second and use these tips to help steer myself back into the direction google needs me to be in. These tips would also be great for the older generation that struggles with the internet and navigating all the fast changes over the last few years.

I took a class about how to fact check things online because of this reason. I have many students saying things they've seen on the internet and cause fights with fellow students over things that have been proven wrong, but on the internet theres no fact checking for kids to see or care about. I think social media is incredible for accessibility opportunities but I don't see enough fact checking stability to steer the young crowd populating social media away from crude rumors. I think if teachers are going to use social media for anything in the classroom it needs to be fact checked and for better security i would ask other teachers to double check and give their opinions to see if it's the best fit for the classroom.
