IVEO Math Tutor

IVEO Hands-On Learning is now math compatible! With the IVEO Math Tutor students can now practice their math skills. Many blind students currently learn Nemeth math, but now they have the ability to learn math spatially, the same way as sighted users. The IVEO Math Tutor is not an update to the current software, but instead its own program. It is still in testing and has therefore been released as a beta version. ViewPlus is currently seeking beta test users. If you are interested, visit www.iveo.org to find out all the details of this new and exciting program. With the IVEO Math Tutor teaching spatial math is now literally at your student's fingertips!

If you are not familiar with IVEO, ViewPlus has a great demo video. Check it out!

Tifloinnova 2008

We recently attended Tifloinnova 2008 in Madrid, Spain. The show had a great turnout and was sponsored by ONCE. For those of you who are not familiar with ONCE, they are a non-profit corporate organization that focuses its activities on the improvement of the quality of life of people with blindness or severe visual impairment from all over Spain.

Dorine in 'T Veld and Steve Young were the representatives that attended the show. There was a large turnout at the booth and many were impressed with the Emprint SpotDot braille embosser Powered by Tiger. In addition the IVEO Hands-On Learning System impressed students of all age levels. According to Dorine and Steve, Madrid is a beautiful city with great nightlife and they hope to return soon!
