NAME OF THE TOOL: Powtoon

MAIN TOPIC: Raising awareness on digital inclusion

OBJECTIVES:
To raise students' awareness about the importance of digital inclusion and promote the design
of accessible technological solutions for everyone.

The objective of using powtoon is to make accessible any kind of presentation or didactic
material. Powtoon is an online tool that allows you to create animated presentations and
explainer videos easily and accessibly, without the need for advanced design or animation skills.

SUGGESTED GROUP SIZE: 10/20 students. The idea is to make groups of 4/5 students.

RESOURCES / MATERIAL: Computer / powtoon account

IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS OF THE ACTIVITY USING THIS TOOL
Introduction (5 minutes):
Start a brief discussion about the concept of digital inclusion and its importance in today's
society. Present examples of people who may face barriers to accessing and using digital
technologies. Raise the central question: how can we design a digital world that is accessible to

everyone?

Research and analysis (20 minutes):

Divide the class into groups of 3-4 students. Assign each group a specific disability or condition
that may affect access to digital technologies (e.g., visual, auditory, motor, cognitive disabilities).
Ask the groups to research the barriers faced by people with the assigned disability to access
digital technologies. Encourage students to search for information on the internet, articles,
videos, and testimonials from people with disabilities.

Design of solutions (30 minutes):
Instruct each group to design a technological solution that allows people with the assigned

disability to access and use digital technologies effectively. Encourage students to be creative
and think of innovative solutions that can use different tools and technological resources.
Suggest that solutions consider aspects such as usability, accessibility, simplicity, and
adaptability to different needs.
