After my demonstration with Rhonda Thompson, Director of Older Blind and Children Services, and her colleagues in Greenville, SC on July 24th, she asked me to do a follow up demonstration on November 1st.

November 1st is going to be a great day to share my teaching strategies in North and South Carolina. At 8:30, I am going to do a session at the 2018 North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics Conference. When the demonstration is over, I am going revisit the South Carolina Commission for the Blind in Greenville at 2:30.

My goal is to eventually help many regular education students as well as VI students on November 1st. That is what my manipulatives are all about- helping ALL students!

After meeting with Dr. Marie Underwood, Northeast Georgia RESA’s Director of Shared Services, on July 23rd, she asked me to do another demonstration with the TVI in the Northeastern region of Georgia on July 27th 12:00. I hope to see you there!

I want to thank Marty McKenzie, Principal, Vision Outreach Services Statewide Vision Consultant in South Carolina, for sharing my teaching strategies with South Carolina AER Board. I am planning to help many students in South Carolina during the 2018-19 school year!

I have corresponded with Rhonda Thompson, Director of Older Blind and Children Services at the South Carolina Commission for the Blind. I am going to share my low vision and blind math manipulatives with Ms. Thompson and her colleagues on July 24th at 10:00 in Greenville, SC. I am looking forward to the opportunity!

I am going to share my teaching strategies at the Goodwill Easter seals of the Gulf Coast’s main office in Mobile, AL. I expect several teachers and some the students from the area to attend. The demonstration on is Thursday, July 12th from 12:00-2:00. See you there!

I was notified by Dr. Drew Polly, NCCTM, that my proposal to present was accepted at the 2018 North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics Conference on November 1-2 in Greensboro, NC! My session will begin promptly at 8:30 on November 1st

See you at the NCCTM Conference!

I was looking on the Internet, and I found a demonstration video that the Oklahoma ABLE Tech Assistive Technology Center had done with the manipulatives they had purchased about 2 1/2 years ago. In March 2018, the North Carolina Assistive Technology Program also did a demonstration video to share my teaching strategies with the NC teachers that they support.
