Mobile Education and Access for Students with Disabilities Webcast

The National Cen­ter on Dis­abil­ity and Access to Edu­ca­tion is host­ing a free audio Web­cast titled Mobile Edu­ca­tion and Access for Stu­dents with Dis­abil­i­ties on Wednes­day, April 26th at 1pm Moun­tain Time (3:00PM East­ern). A descrip­tion of the Web­cast from the NCDAE website:

As tech­nolo­gies become smaller, sleeker and eas­ier to carry can they be devel­oped and used so that no child is left behind? That is the ques­tion we will address dur­ing NCDAE’s April 26, 2006 web­cast enti­tled, “Mobile Edu­ca­tion and Access for Stu­dents with Dis­abil­i­ties.” Join us at 1 PM Moun­tain Time (3 PM EDT) for a dis­cus­sion of tech­nolo­gies, prac­tices and stan­dards related to this increas­ingly pop­u­lar edu­ca­tion deliv­ery method.

The dis­cus­sion will be mod­er­ated by Marty Blair and will include a panel of John Peifer, Ed Price and Paul Baker. Reg­is­tra­tion is not nec­es­sary. If you miss the Web­cast then check back later at their page of archived Web­casts where you can access pre­vi­ous Web­casts such as:
