KURZWEIL READER USED BY STUDENTS, INSTRUCTOR IN CLASS
The Kurzweil Personal Reader at the Washtenaw County Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped is just one of the advanced technological devices--along with the optacon and other devices that convert printed materials into either speech or braille--that are being used this semester by EMU students in SVI 469.
The course is taught by lecturer Ted Lennox, who is blind and a teacher of the visually impaired at Carr School in Lincoln Park.
The Library's Kurzweil Reader was donated in 1989 by the Ann Arbor Host Lions Club. The COE thanks both the Library and the Lions Club for assistance with our programming.
WITH THE RENAISSANCE GROUP
Two of the Affinity Groups of the Renaissance Group are housed at EMU. These are: Sex Equity in Education (Betty Barber and Rachael Harley) and Urban Teacher Education (Marv Pasch).
Renaissance Group leaders, including those from Affinity Groups, met in Detroit on September 29. Provost Ron Collins was a presenter.
The Affinity Group on "Knowledge Base and Pedagogical Content" needs a new host institution and leader. Call the dean's office if interested.
