Help !!!
I do not mean to interrupt your lottery discussion but I really need your help
. Chances are that I will have a visually challenged student in my college alge
bra class next fall. I will be using a graphing calculator extensively. However
this student cannot see the keys on the calculator, the screen on the calculat
or or the projection from the viewscreen. Many of the activities in the class a
re of an investigative nature so the students need to be able to test their ide
as. This makes it very hard to work with a "notetaker". My future student can s
ee what is written on the viewscreen if he holds it at a specific angle and tap
es a piece of white cardboard on the back. I am sure one or more of you are/hav
e been in my situation. What kind of technology is out there? Where can I get i
t from? and how much does it cost ? and where would that money come from?
Thank you for your time and have a great day. ER
