WSSB
is proud to announce upcoming webinars on the Audio Graphing Calculator
Software. Presenter is Sara Larkin, Iowa School for the Blind, Math Consultant for
Statewide Vision Services. Clock Hours will be available.
The AGC provides the
functionality of handheld scientific calculators commonly used in the classroom. Operating on a flexible Windows platform and
augmented with audio and tactile feedback, the AGC provides an alternative for
people who cannot effectively use a handheld calculator, or those seeking a
more interactive interface.
The AGC is accessible to
anyone who can use a computer, regardless of ability, allowing the user to
concentrate on math, not on learning the tools to access it.
Registration Fee: August 13,
14, 15 - $25.00, One day - $10
You must attend session 1 & 2 or all three in order to receive the
minimum of 3 hours of training for clock hours.
This three day training will
be held as a webinar – on your local computer.
