Practical Applications of Advanced Technologies: Disabled Citizens Computer Center

在残疾公民计算机中心工作，这将是 由苹果电脑公司成立的国家教育特别联盟， 小组将开发和测试修改后的教育软件， 视力残疾人。 在经验丰富的 工作人员由美国盲人印刷所（APH）借出， 明尼苏达教育计算公司（Minnesota Educational Computing） 将修改中心以提供语音/听觉输出。 大部分 转换工作将由计算机课的学生完成， 路易斯维尔中央高中计算机技术职业磁铁 计划;为这些学生提供的教育机会是一个 方案的重要组成部分。 教师将接受培训， 材料，并将在实践中测试其实用性。 传播 成品材料和推荐的使用方法将通过 苹果赞助的网络和APH。 合作伙伴的成本分摊将占NSF资金的31%。

Working in a Disabled Citizens Computer Center, which will be part of the National Education Special Alliance established by Apple Computer, a team will develop and test modified educational software for use by visually-handicapped individuals. Under the direction of experienced staff loaned by the American Printing House for the Blind (APH), existing educational software from the Minnesota Educational Computing Center will be modified to give speech/auditory output. Much of the work of conversion will be done by students in computer classes from the Louisville Central High School Computer Technology Career Magnet Program; the educational opportunity provided for these students is an important element of the program. Teachers will be trained to use the materials and will test its utility in practice. Dissemination of finished materials and recommended methods of use will be through the Apple sponsored network and APH. Cost sharing by the partners will total 31% of the NSF funding.
