We will be presenting a three hour session broken into the following topics related to technology in the classroom:

 

Topic 1:  Bluetooth Braille display options - what it does, how to customize for a user, syncing

Topic 2:  JAWS screen reader -what it does, how to customize for a user

Topic 3:  Zoom text - what it does, how to customize for a user

Topic 4:  Tablets and Smartphones – an overview on accessibility and apps

 

The focus will be on use in the classroom environment and future independence.

 

This is a free event and if enough interest is generated the first in a series of offerings.
