[nobe-l] Newly vision impaired and technology teacher

[Louis Maher]

Hello,

The National Federation of the Blind has three training centers which can teach you non-visual techniques for functioning in the modern world.   One of them is the Louisiana center (http://www.louisianacenter.org/).  Ideally you could take nine months to learn non-visual techniques.

Subject: [nobe-l] Newly vision impaired and technology teacher

 Hi everyone!

I have lost my vision to the point where I was reassigned with my school district to teach technology. Are there any tips or routines that you might be willing to share? I am experienced in the classroom, but I am not experienced and being able to instruct without vision. Is there any technology programs are applications that you use? Any information that you have in this area is greatly appreciated. I am scrambling to  create a situation that would be successful for the students as well as  myself.
Thank you in advance for anyone who has experience or knowledge in these areas. I have been teaching for over 20 years, but I have not had to teach with visual limitations as an educator before. Thank you so much!

Ren Leach
