The first assistive technology that I chose to discuss is the high contrast feature. This feature is perfect for students who might have a visual impairment in which a lot of white color either hurts their eyes or makes them lose focus. It can be turned on by simply pressing alt/left shift/print screen all at once. After that simple press of buttons it automatically turns on. It is not hard to get use to either. In fact, as I type this blog I am currently under the high contrast setting. This is a multifunctional tool because along with helping the visually impaired it can be used for similar reasons under any conditions. If a student is having to spend a great time in front of the computer and just needs a break from all the brightness, they can just turn this feature on and give their eyes a break.
Another multifunctional feature for the visually impaired would be the magnifier option. This option lets you scroll over sections of your page and in a separate window a "blown up" version of that screen will appear. This is great for students who have trouble reading small text or being able to navigate through the page easily. This is a great for any student who might have any sort of difficulty seeing a smaller text.
