Family Center on Technology and Disability Summer Institute

July 20, 2009toJuly 31, 2009

The Family Center on Technology and Disability is pleased to provide a free, 2-week online summer institute.  The Family Center’s summer institutes have been extremely popular, connecting educators, disability professionals and parents throughout the country with leading national experts in assistive and instructional technologies.   This year’s institute will have two learning strands.  The Accessible Instructional Materials strand will explain and explore the world of accessible media, including the laws designed to get instructional materials into the hands of students with print disabilities.  Participants will learn about digital formats, how to find and access digital books, and about software and hardware suitable for classroom, home, and therapeutic environments.  The second strand, Social Media Tools, focuses on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and thousands of blogs, wikis, and related social media tools.  When well used, they connect, inform, entertain, and educate. 

Course runs from July 20-31, 2009
Participants can register for continuing education units (CEU’s).   More information on each strand is provided below, or you can register directly at:  http://www.fctd.info/registration_types/1/registrations/new If you have additional questions, please email fctd@aed.org or call Jackie Hess at (202) 884-8217 or Ana Maria Gutierrez at (202) 884-8068.
