Smart boards are a cool, different, and creative way to form lessons that keep things fun and informative.  After watching the ten tips to make your class more accessible,the smartboard lesson I found on smart exchange was now not as accessible as I thought.  Some of the colors are similar and could be harder to read than two contrasting colors.  I also added an extra tool to make the presentation more interactive for the students.  The website Wixie is a similar platform to paint.  I used it by creating a document for the students to use along with the page on the smartboard.  Another tool I wanted the lesson plan to go with would be a read aloud one.   However, with the tools listed, I found that the formats don't go well together so getting to that step is a longer process than I want it to be.  I will be using Office lens app to scan each of the slides of the smart board presentation and convert them to word documents so students can use natural reader to have the slides read aloud to them.  The office lens app is a great tool that takes pictures of any document.  It can then convert the document into multiple different forms, such as a word document.  Word documents can be put into the tool natural reader where the content can be read aloud to the students.  It highlights the words as it goes along so the students know where they are at all times.  Smartboard is a great tool and can be very interactive but the format is hard to convert and for that reason it could use some improvement to be more accessible to all students.  With the modifications I have made to improve the natural reader, great value will be added to the activity plan. Now the slides are accessible to more students than before.  There are limitations because this is time consuming.   With how the presentation is laid out to move things that are covered and be revealed one step at a time.  Having the content available to be read aloud will help increase the activity's accessibility to students who need it.  I do think there is a better way to do this.  I would do a screen recording of the presentation with a voice over.  That way the students can see the motion of things moving on each slide and get a better understanding.  Their lesson would then be comparable to the lesson given to students who don't need the content read aloud to them.
