Free Web Conference: Tablet Technology and People with Disabilities
Presenter: Karen McCall
August 15, 2:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time

This web seminar will demonstrate the ability of students with disabilities 
to use tablet technology and Microsoft OneNote. The tablet offers tool for 
task accessibility such as handwriting, speech recognition, the use of 
screen magnification, and screen reading software. With the new smaller 
models of tablets, you have "big Windows" applications on a small Windows 
XP Pro based computer. Add Microsoft OneNote and you have a powerful 
digital notebook. OneNote is
a free form digital notebook tool that can be used with adaptive 
technology. Tablets can be used by people with dysgraphia, learning 
disabilities, visual disabilities, or who are blind. More academic 
institutions are moving to tablet technology and this seminar provides an 
overview of how it can be used as an inclusive tool.
