Although information technology can be a barrier for students with visual impairment, there are an increasing number of technological solutions to challenges faced by blind and low sight learners. Through this blog, I will define visual impairment, identify common learning needs of students with visual impairment, examine references of educational technology implementation, look at promising practices and tools, discuss accessibility, and, finally, introduce Universal Design for Learning (UDL). I have used a basic font in a large size to assist low sight viewers of this blog. I have refrained from using images or animation and have endeavored to keep my format straight-forward and easy to follow. Along the right hand margin, readers will find an archive of my posts, which I have arranged according to the topics I mentioned above. This is my first attempt at a blog, and this experience has been both challenging and rewarding for me.
