Another first timer. Looking forward to everything, but "Accessibility is not a mystery" jumped out as a particularly strong title.
ππΌ Chris, I'm a first timer too and not really sure what to expect ... looking forward to it and hoping to connect with other learners to encourage each other π Would love to follow you on Twitter, I'm @katfay_ Accessibility is such an important topic. I think the last few years has shown us that if tech is not designed with diverse needs in mind from the start - it can be a life damaging/threatening (just thinking of how apps and comms were not initially tailored older or culturally diverse audiences who needed them here in Melbourne, Aus, during the pandemic).
Same :)
Literally, all of them! π€©
This is the first time of me participating to a codeLand. And um so excited to see whats going and everything on there.π€©π
I truly cannot and will not pick π
As someone new to coding and learning HTML, CSS, & JavaScript to design more engaging & inclusive online courses, βAccessibility in Designβ and βTeaching through Code Reviewsβ are the two webinars that pique my interest.
They sound like interesting choices Christine and I can relate to being new at HTML, CSS & JavaScript. What kind of courses are you designing?
I aspire to create courses for educators at a university or a EdTech company. So far, itβs been for K-12.
The whole CodeLand eventπβ
I was part of the committee this year who had the honor to choose which talks should be held on this years CodeLand. I guarantee, all these talks will be AMAZING!!
omg this is so exciting!
I am looking forward to all of them too.
But can I "cheat" and say the "talk" I'm most interested in is hearing from with newer coders and hearing their stories and their passion for coding. It is so exciting to me to hear folks' journeys into tech, what's on their minds, and what they are looking forward to.
Hey! :) I am most excited about the accessibility talks and listening to the stories of the speakers about their personal and professional journeys. I also would love to learn about inclusivity topics as they make me really curious. :)
I'm particularly drawn to the accessibility and mental health talks- but it all sounds genuinely great!
Hello everyone! Thank you company for your help these last 3 weeks! Your advice given about communication with my girlfriend has tremendously helped, and we are doing so much better. I appreciate and I am thankful. I'm happy that online texting therapy will continue helping to others. Thanks so much! He has been nothing short of a miracle.
Anything on accessibility and mental health
Oooh me too!
I'm excited for all the talks at this year's CodeLand. I'm especially excited to hear the keynotes from Angie, Kelsey, and Tracy.
"Next-Gen Inclusivity: How Gen Z Can Make Real Change in Tech" is what I look forward to. Now that I'm a little "older" as a millenial, I gotta stay in the know on what is going on with Gen Z. It's a constantly changing world.
"How I Tracked My Pregnancy with Python & Emojis" :) Gonna be interesting
Actually this is my 1st time.
