Educational experiences can be designed with inclusivity in mind. Flexibility is at the core of designing instruction to meet variable needs. There are several overlooked features built into commonly used educational tools such as those created by Microsoft, Google, and Apple. Participants will explore these features along with how they can be used to provide options to craft equitable, accessible, and empowering experiences for all learners. You'll be guaranteed to leave thinking, "I can't believe these features were here the whole time and I never knew it!"
