Retrospective: 2010 Technology and Deaf Education Symposium

An International Symposium
Technology and Deaf Education
Exploring Instructional and Access Technologies
Sponsored by
June 21 - 23, 2010

For those blog readers interested in Deaf Education, I hate it for you if you missed the 2010 Technology and Deaf Education Symposium, because in every regard it was worthwhile. Couldn't make it? No worries! A virtual visit will fix you right up.

Go to the symposium archive pages to access media presentations, handouts, verbatim presentation captions, submitted papers, session photos, and a "Faces of the Symposium" slideshow. Be sure to watch at least one of the six video archived sessions, in an application which simultaneously displays the slideshow, video, and captioning -- much as you would have experienced it on campus. Oh, and read what I found most intriguing in my take away entries -- a series of blog postings that will serve as a repository for my reflections on the 16 sessions that I attended. For another review of the conference, see the June, 2010 SIG Access Newsletter (a publication of ACM's (Association of Computing Machinery) special interest group, SIG Access, or Teacher May's several blog entries.

I am grateful to Muscogee County School District, and especially to Dr. Susan Andrews, Peggy West, and Donna Hart, for sponsoring my attendance at the symposium.
