Attend Upcoming Event on Educational Technology from NFB
Start the school year with a better understanding of accessibility and technology. Attend this upcoming seminar to gain insight and guidance on educational technology, tools and platforms used to promote and facilitate learning in classrooms. Full and equal access to digital instruction and education is a critical priority of the National Federation of the Blind because inaccessible educational technology creates barriers for blind and low-vision students and liabilities for schools.
Join the National Federation of the Blind's Center of Excellence in Nonvisual Accessibility on August 18, 2021, from 1:00-5:00 p.m. Eastern to experience the latest educational technology. This event is great for classroom teachers, teachers of blind students, administrators, parents of blind students, and any education professional who use LMS software.
Some topics to be covered:
* Accessible Learning Management Systems (LMS): Google Classroom, D2L, and Canvas
* Document Accessibility: Creating and developing materials in Word, PowerPoint, and PDF
* STEM Technology: Learn about Talking Lab Quest, a device for labs, experiments, calculations, etc.
