Hi,

My name is Stephanie Ludi, and I am a faculty member in the Software 
Engineering program at the Rochester Institute of Technology.  I am 
seeking teachers of the blind at the middle and high school level to 
interview in order to gain insight and perspective in "real" classrooms.

I am working on an ongoing project that involves creating inclusive 
hands-on activities in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and 
Math) for young people in middle and high school who are visually 
impaired. These activities are meant to complement computer-based 
activities, as far an enabling students to explore concepts that 
involves role play and moving around their classroom (kinesthetic 
learning).  My team and I have some experience here, but in order to 
design our activities to work in the"real world" we would like to 
interview teachers of the blind who work with kids in school 
settings.  We are particularly interested to talk to a diverse set of 
teachers that include those who
are sighted or who are visually impaired.

Those interviewed will be entered into a drawing to win one of two 
$30 Amazon gift cards.  If you are interested, please email me at: 
salvse at rit.edu.

Thank you,
--Stephanie Ludi
