My Best,

Hello, 

 

We are conducting a research study approved by Florida State University's
and the University of South Carolina's IRB Boards to explore how individuals
with visual impairments, both high school students in grades 9-12 and
college students, use technology to participate in math learning. The
technology includes both mainstream technology (e.g., tablets, computers)
and specialized assistive technology for people with visual impairments
(e.g., braille notetakers, video magnifiers, JAWS, VoiceOver). 

 

We are asking for your help to advertise our study. We are seeking four
groups of individuals: 

*	High school students with visual impairments in grades 9-12 enrolled
in an academic math (e.g., algebra, geometry) who use technology at school
and work with a teacher of students with visual impairments. 
*	College students with visual impairments at 2 or 4 year
colleges/universities who have had a math class within the last 2 years and
who use technology at college. College students may have had a visual
impairment in high school or acquired it post-high school. 
*	Teachers of students with visual impairments who have 3 years or
more of teaching experience and have one or more high school students who
use technology in math class. 
*	General education math teachers who have a student with a visual
impairment in grades 9-12 with a visual impairment in their academic math
class (e.g., algebra, geometry) and who have taught math at the high school
level for 3 years or more. 

 

Individuals who wish to participate can go to the

Please share the attached flier that explains the study in more detail with
those who may wish to participate.
