5. “Many
par:cipants
expressed
the
importance
of
being
seen
with
mainstream
devices
in
order
to
demonstrate
how
they
were
capable
of
doing
just
as
much
as
anyone
else.”

16. Accessibility as core value
“
A
web
for
everyone
will
become
a
reality
when
accessibility
is
a
core
value
and
is
considered
just
part
of
making
things.”

28. hello...
I
just
plain
cannot
read
the
book
due
to
the
color
of
the
text.
I
must
use
a
magnifying
glass
which
is
quite
cumbersome.
Has
anyone
found
a
free
downlaod
(since
I've
already
paid
for
the
book
within
the
kit).
Old
people
need
love
(and
darker
text)
too!
:-‐)
Thanks!

55. Feedback from parents
“Just
wanted
to
thank
you
and
your
team
for
such
a
lovely
day
at
MicrosoG.
My
son
really
enjoyed
himself
so
much,
that
evening
he
was
telling
me
of
all
the
ac:vi:es
he
did
with
so
much
excitement
in
him.
I
think
Cam
Sight
is
a
great
thing
and
I
am
so
so
pleased
that
you
all
do
so
much
to
involve
and
make
everyone
feel
so
welcome.
I
wish
there
was
more
groups
out
there
like
Cam
Sight.”
56. Feedback from parents
“Just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
from
all
of
us
for
a
really
interes:ng
day.
My
daughter
carried
on
refining
her
design
all
the
way
home
and
when
we
got
here
too.
Her
brother
and
their
friend
just
kept
saying
they'd
had
a
great
day,
which
really
means
they
had
a
fantas:c
day
in
teenage
boy
speak!
It's
lovely
for
me
to
chat
to
Kim
and
Dee
about
all-‐things
VI.
Kim
is
a
real
source
of
info!
Please
would
you
pass
on
our
thanks
to
the
MicrosoG
team
too.”
