New Accessibility Rules for School Social Media (WCAG 2.1 AA) with Andrea Gribble
Mar 30, 2026
Episode 312
Andrea Gribble
- Andrea breaks down what’s changing (without panic) - why WCAG 2.1 AA is becoming the standard for all school digital content (including social media), plus the key compliance timelines (April 2026/April 2027).
- Alt text becomes a daily habit, not an optional extra. You’ll learn what “good” alt text sounds like, what to avoid when describing students, and how to edit alt text on Facebook/Instagram (even after posting).
- Video accessibility is more than auto-captions. The episode explains when captions matter most, how to handle “vibes-only” videos, and why accurate captions can help both accessibility and discoverability.
