DESCRIPTIONI chose the SlideShare platform because I was familiar with it. Additionally it

integrates well with PowerPoint which I am also already familiar with. This familiarity of beneficial because it allow me to spend more time creating and less time learning a new platform. Additionally, SlideShare allows easy sharing and integration thus permitting easier distribution of my presentation.

I created this presentation using PowerPoint and loaded it into SlideShare.I used the 508 Checklist (http://webaim.org/standards/508/checklist) to ensure

accessibility. I did provide a text description for each photo for those who might be using an audio reader to view the presentation.

As a formatting note, I placed the reference for each slide at the bottom of the page to permit those using readers to access the program to more easily understand where I located the information and where they can go to find out more. Listing all references at the end would make this process more difficult.
