Abstract
Abstract: Seton Hall University, through a three-year U.S. Department of Education Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to Use Technology (PT3) Grant, effectively and comprehensively responded to a need to prepare its faculty and preservice teachers to bring technology to all groups in society. This paper documents the change that occurred while college faculty: (1) redesigned three pro-grams to bring accessibility awareness to teacher candidates, educational media students, and in-formation technology (IT) students; and (2) integrated assistive technology (AT) training with course content. To promote accessible technologies it is important for everyone to have an aware-ness of the issues that are faced by persons with disabilities. There are 54 million persons with dis-abilities or functional limitations in the United States today. Is any other reason needed for encour-aging accessibility awareness?
