Working with the Sensational BlackBoard

A raised-line drawing of an African village. In the background is a mountain range, many of the mountains have distinctive broad flat tops. A few of the village’s buildings are along the street. A horse is standing in the street.

This student, blind since birth, illustrated a typical African village in a raised line drawing.

This hands-on workshop is for:

Parents who would like to get information into their child’s hands as events unfold or simply as their curiosity is sparked.
Teachers of the Blind or Visually Impaired so they can elaborate on instruction in and out of the classroom.
General Educators so they can share key concepts through charts, graphs and diagrams during class.
Mainstream Art Teachers so they can add a new tool to their tool box that can help make art accessible for all students.
Para-educators so that they can spend less time preparing for the next day’s lessons.
Museum Educators so they can share information about things that can’t be touched.
And of course people who are blind or visually impaired so that they can illustrate and share their ideas about their world as well!

These workshops can range anywhere from a one hour introduction to the BlackBoard to an all day in-depth experience.
