Subject: Join us for a FREE Braille & Tactile Graphics Webinar!






            FREE Online Webinar

            Learn new methods to transcribe math and science materials
into braille and tactile graphics, utilizing new, more flexible and
affordable tools.

            This workshop will teach you how to:

              a.. Draw tactile graphics using a tactile drawing pad or mouse
              b.. Transform bitmap and scanned images quickly into
line drawings
              c.. Make tactile graphs with braille - just type in a
formula and it's done automatically
              d.. Create tactile diagrams with Nemeth braille math labels
              e.. Add audio labels to tactile graphics for greater
interactivity

            Join Irie-AT as we provide an overview of this exciting
new solution for teaching math and science for braille-reading
students of all ages. The presenter will demonstrate techniques using
the TactileView design suite and an Index Everest-D V4 (now capable of
super-high-resolution tactile graphics).
