Schools will never keep up with the tech so focus on the activities that build computational coding.
You don't need fancy whiz bang.
We taught HTML using broken bricks in India.
And don't forget the art behind the code.
Kids often find tech through art and writing

The hack is described in detail in that post, but basically:
use a <video> element instead of an <audio> element. make the <source> your audio (mp3 or whatever)
add a <track> element with your WebVTT subtitles
make sure to use a poster image so the video gets some space in the page
This has been broken for a few years, at least according to my notes, and I keep failing at finding a fix.
As of now:
Firefox no longer shows the “CC” control or options to enable captions
Chrome-based browsers show the captions, but you can’t see them because they are behind the media controls, which never seem to go away.
A screenshot of Chrome's media player controls where the timeline scrubber obscures the captions. We see one line reading "the past twelve weeks" peeking above the controls.
This post is me absolving myself of finding a fix for now! 🕊️

A screenshot of Chrome's media player controls where the timeline scrubber obscures the captions. We see one line reading "the past twelve weeks" peeking above the controls.
