From the BITS Education Team: The BITS Education committee is announcing the course Teaching and Typing Math presented by long time Professor Betsey Doane. She will be assisted by Rebecca Skipper. The intended audience includes assistive tech instructors who want to improve their training capacity in this area, as well as other BITS members who want to use math more efficiently and productively. Empower your visually impaired students to engage mathematics with confidence and independence. This practical session equips trainers with the skills to navigate mathematical expressions in Word and on the web, compose and edit Nemeth code braille within the JAWS Braille Math Editor, and produce math expressions efficiently using speech. Participants will also explore split braille techniques and be pointed to comprehensive graphing with the Desmos calculator, including audio graphs, and the export of properly sized graphs into Word. Attendees will leave prepared to deliver these essential tools to their students and elevate accessible mathematics instruction. It will be required that you update Jaws and the Focus Braille display to the latest versions. The Braille math editor works with several displays but is best with the Focus and very good with the Brailliant. Students are expected to know how to operate the displays; the course will cover using the Braille math editor. The course will be given each Tuesday starting on October 6 at 8:00 p.m. Eastern time and will run through at least October 20 or October 27 depending on the need.
