Seminars at Hadley Presents:  FYI on PDAs: Considerations When Choosing a PDA/Note Taking Device
Date: August 18, 2010
Time:  11:00 a.m. CDT, 16:00 GMT 
What information do you need to choose the best PDA (personal digital assistant) or what is often called a note-taking device? What questions should you ask the manufacturers and/or other users of such devices to equip you to make the most informed choice? 
Join Seminars at Hadley as we explore the types of PDAs/note taking devices on the market from commercially available net books to laptops and notebooks, from QWERTY input note takers to Personal Data Assistance especially created and marketed for users who are visually impaired that have braille input and built-in braille displays.  Is there any one solution that will serve the needs of everyone?
This 60 minute seminar will be presented by Sharon Ewing, former evaluator for the Assistive Technology Unit of Texas Division for Blind services, now co-owner and Assistive Technology Trainer for Kewing Enterprises, and Hadley Instructor Amy Salmon, and moderated by Billy Brookshire, Hadley Texas Outreach Coordinator.
