The race is on to build hands-on coding skills with Colby, the programmable robot mouse! Colby lights up, makes sounds, and moves around the maze to find the cheese with your help. Use his colorful buttons and tactile graphics to help him find his way! https://t.co/6cyQNmO9xv

Check out these great updates from @Microsoft presented by @hadleyinstitute !

Look at this neat new tech in action at the TN School for the Blind! We love to see our student's engagement increase through motivating learning experiences!

Technology is a wonderful motivator. She loves the taptilo! @TSB_Tigers

“Once you go through the experience, you realize you’re the same as the person you were before, except for the way that other people look at you and the assumptions they make about how hard it will be to employ you.” Great article on why inclusion in the workplace is so valuable!

[TN RCVI & Outreach @TN_RCVI]

Since they go by TSBVI, maybe we can all agree that TENNESSEE school for the blind is the ONLY TSB that’s out there!

[TN RCVI & Outreach @TN_RCVI]

Alright, I think this is the last last session, gotta make it count! I’m in “Overcoming Challenges Developing Accessible Online Learning” by our sister TSB school for the blind, TEXAS School for the Blind and Visually Impaired. #CSUNATC19

[TN RCVI & Outreach @TN_RCVI]

If you know me, you know I’ve stressed the virtues of learning universal skills. So, you won’t be surprised that I’m now in the “Windows Narrator: What’s New” session!

[TN RCVI & Outreach @TN_RCVI]

Ok let's talk about the Accessible Equation Editor by Pearson!

[TN RCVI & Outreach @TN_RCVI]

Y’all, you never know the amazing people you might run into to learn about how they’re using to support their students! Just had a discussion about LaTeX and feel SO EMPOWERED that I can learn it and use it to support our kids’ math access at TSB and beyond.

TSB, plan on me making up a guide for quick and easy tactile graphics!

[TN RCVI & Outreach @TN_RCVI]

Nooo!!! It’s endingggg...
But not yet! We still have a full day ahead of us!
Today, that is “Tactile Graphics in Minutes” by ViewPlus, who makes the popular Tiger embossers that are great at producing tactile graphics!

More accurately, this session is about why we should not see individuals with disabilities only as testers of accessibility. Instead, there are very strong rationales for opening up opportunities for people with disabilities in a variety of jobs, including management. #CSUNATC19
