<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Dear David, <br>
<br>
My name is Li Zhou, a Core-Curriculum project leader
at APH. We were wondering if you can help us post the evaluator
recruitment letter below on NFB's BlindMath listserv. This product is
designed to facilitate math graphing for students with blindness and low
vision. <br>
<br>
Should you have any questions, please let me know.
Thank you very much!<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Li Zhou<br>

Seeking Field Evaluators for Math Graphing Kit<br>
<br>
APH is seeking field evaluators for Math Graphing Kit
(please see the picture below), an assistive tool to facilitate graphing
in elementary, middle, and high school math. As a modernization of APH's
Graphic Aid for Mathematics, the new Math Graphing Kit is designed to be
more powerful and portable. This tool is designed for laying out of
calculation procedures in arithmetic, illustrating function graphics in
algebra, exploring shapes and relationships in geometry, and constructing
histograms and pie charts in statistics, among other tasks done by
students in math classes. Universal design also makes it good for use by
teachers, parents, and sighted peers.<br>
<br>
Field evaluators will be asked to use the prototype
with multiple students with blindness and low vision. Evaluators will
then complete and return a product evaluation form at the end of the
testing period. Field test sites will be selected based upon geographic
location, number of available students, and type of instructional
setting. The number of prototypes is limited. Field testing will begin in
March 2014 and extend to May 2014.<br>
<br>
If you are interested in possibly serving as a field
evaluator, please provide the following information:<br>
<br>
a. your name, title, school/agency, and type of setting (e.g.,
residential, itinerant);<br>
<br>
b. number of available students (with ages, grade levels, and primary
reading media indicated);<br>
<br>
c. your preferred medium for reading evaluation materials and completing
the evaluation form; and <br>
<br>
d. your complete contact information (phone number, mailing address, and
e-mail address).<br>
<br>
Send this information to Li Zhou, Core Curriculum
Project Leader, at <a href="mailto:lzhou@aph.org">lzhou@aph.org</a> by
February 21, 2014. You may also contact Li at 800-223-1839, ext. 424.
Thank you!<br>
