Session description
Purpose & objective
yWe want to present an option of inclusion in the use of technology to people with visual impairment, the objective is for participants to visualize and experience how traditional media can be adapted for inclusion in our community. In our case we have a student with visual weakness and one of the biggest challenges we faced was when working with a computer, since other subjects make curricular adjustments, however in his technology class he chose to reinforce other aspects , since he could not work alongside his colleagues. This motivated and inspired other students to look for the means and through the design thinking process a PBL was launched, which did not allow generating different prototypes by using different algorithms for programming and automation.
Outline
We have also met with leaders of some institutions in our state that work on educational and inclusion programs for the visually impaired such asAssociation of the Blind andVisually Weak Quality of Life without Seeing A.C.
