How can you make your Google Site more accessible?

• Include alt text

• Use low-color contrast

• Avoid using text

• Use informative link text

 

Explanation:

To make your Google Site more accessible, you should:

Include alt text: Alt text is used to describe images, logos, drawings, and other graphics. Without alt text, screen reader users just hear “image.” Some images automatically include alt text, so it’s a good idea to check that the alt text is what you want1.

Use informative link text: Screen readers can scan for links, so informative link text is helpful. It’s best to use the title of the page as the linked text. For example, if you’re linking to your profile page, the link text should say “my profile,” not “click here” or the full URL1.

• The entire presentation can be translated in a few clicks

• The entire text of a google Doc can be converted from one language to another language

• Convert document text into a spoken audio file in any language
• Exclusive access to educational resources online

 

Explanation:

The Google Docs Explore button and Google Translate feature can bring significant value to a research assignment. Here are the two options that best describe their benefits:

The entire text of a Google Doc can be converted from one language to another language: Google Translate can translate the entire text of a Google Doc into another language. This can be particularly useful for students who are researching current events in different languages.

The power of search is tightly integrated within the application: The Google Docs Explore button integrates the power of Google Search directly within the application. This allows students to conduct their research without having to switch between the document and the search engine, making the research process more efficient.

These features can greatly enhance the research capabilities of students, making Google Docs a powerful tool for education.
