[Ccb-alumni] intro

Sat Feb 14 16:52:54 UTC 2009

Hello I posted while at the Washington Seminar and a lot of things  
didn't work right with that post so here is my introduction. I was at  
the Colorado Center for the Blind from May of 1997 through August of  
1998.  The reason why I was there for so long is because I am deaf/ 
blind (not severe). I am currently a masters student in Educational  
Technology University of Northern Colorado. I am applying to the  
doctoral program in my department because I have come to the  
conclusion that from talking to a lot of people around here that a  
funny thing happens in the teacher education programs. Apparently they  
don't learn anything about adaptive technology and the general  
education teachers tell me that they are to refer any student that  
needs adaptive technology to the vision teacher. So I have come to the  
conclusion that it would be substantially better that both sets of  
future teachers to learn depending on how much they need learn  
something about adaptive technology and given where we are going in  
this country I think it makes sense for me to become a prof and teach  
this. The other area of research I would strongly like to investigate  
is touch screens particularly in the area of mobile phones. On a much  
lighter sight of what I am doing I work part for the University's  
(UNC) IT program. I have fallen in love with Itunes and I listen to  
virtually all kinds of music and I like to listen to romance, history,  
and detective novels and of course books about technology. If any of  
you have face-book I do have a page. If anyone wants to correspond  
with me off list you can.Thats all for now, I guess I should get back  
to working on the multi media project that is due next week. PS Keep  
my way from Star-bucks coffee houses.
