[Pibe-division] Great videos on what our smart blind children are doing on technology

[Dr. Denise M. Robinson]

Here are some great videos--very descriptive, on what our blind children are doing on technology which is giving them the edge in school. These are all virtual lessons across the country 


Spanish lesson with jaws and PC--this student just began 1 month ago and has never used a computer--now everything is on a computer and moving incredibly fast--reads from the braille and nemeth books also

 
Reading from Nemeth book, then completing bar graphs in excel then selecting and pasting into Word to answer all questions...emailing it to teacher when done

In 2 months this student went from doing everything on a brailler to all on a computer--he had never used a computer before...this is a track changes lesson that he just got back from his teacher. He is listening to all the comments

This lesson is a student doing a sophisticated newspaper layout and articles in Word

When students are done with their work, they email to teacher....teacher corrects and emails back to them. One thing about students, they learn like lightening speed...it is so incredible. We should never underestimate the power of the mind...especially when it wants to learn--hundreds of other videos along the same line on just about anything....kids are just so inspirational

Enjoy
