[Pibe-division] Techno Tidal Wave :-)

[Smith, Pauline L]

This should be very interesting.  However, the article never opened for me to read.  It said that the document is being processed, but all it did was open a web page talking about Adobe Reader.  I'll try again.

I think it s great and the use of technology can level the playing field for those of us who are blind or visually impaired, but any technology and programs need to be accessible to all students.

For those that might be interested...
One of the topics I heard on the way in to work today was that LAUSD is thinking about providing tablet devices to all 650,000 students in the district. I googled & here is the link to an article on the subject: www.dailynews.com/news/ci_22437047/plan-supply-lausd-students-apple-ipads-or-other<http://www.dailynews.com/news/ci_22437047/plan-supply-lausd-students-apple-ipads-or-other>.
Needless to say, this will affect blind & vi students & their VI programs too.
