Virtual Teachers</A> </H3>
<DIV class=post-header></DIV>I have teachers of the blind calling me from all
over to learn the virtual techniques to teach students. The excitement of
showing them another way is always a joy for me. Today was no exception to
this rule. If you want to be one of these teachers...send an email and we can
get going.<BR><BR>Last year this teacher quit her job to have a beautiful
baby. Before she had quit I told her what I had been doing in regards to
virtual teaching and that if she wanted, she could do it too from home, while
still caring for her children. A couple days ago I got the email asking about
the virtual teaching.<BR><BR>I took her through the process of being the
student and how I connected to her and then her being the teacher and
connecting to me and all the many aspects that went along with virtual
teaching. Her excitement of its potential could be felt across the wires. We
will practice until she is comfortable and then when she gets students I can
assist when she needs it.<BR><BR>I have discovered several different ways to
do virtual instruction. When you go across state or country lines, the
connections vary. Instead of phoning and adding up long distance charges, I
connect with SKYPE, give directions, then bring up JAWS Tandem and we continue
both throughout the lesson. If the video becomes too garbled because of
bandwidth, we go to just audio. Local calls can be phone and straight Tandem.
I have also given lessons straight through chat, text and Tandem. There are so
many ways and options. Meetings with school personnel can happen through SKYPE
or a phone. If teaching braille or other hands on skills, a para educator is
on the other side following instructions on how to help the child position
their fingers....all watched through video on my side.<BR><BR>Most
importantly, we have the ability to teach every child as long as there is a
phone line. Every child could potentially have the ability to receive as much
instruction as they need to achieve their goals and dreams. We need more
options to address the challenge of teaching so many children. This is just
one more option. <A href="http://blindgeteducated.blogspot.com/" rel=nofollow
