Visit the 4 offered

simulations, follow the
directions on the page to
complete the simulations to
experience what individuals

Students should
write about the
simulation
experience and
how it changes
their perception
of individuals
with disabilities
using the web.
They should
note any
particular
struggles
experienced
with the
simulation
Students will
need to take
screenshots of
