The MIT Media Lab has an incredible project called the Flexpad. It is able to
turn a piece of paper into a digital display. You can use your hands to
interact with it or adaptive tools. It appears to be a very accessible medium to
look forward to in the future. They have
made some of their research available: Projected
Handheld Displays. This is an
example of universal design which uses a combination of high and low tech
materials. The possibilities and creativity which can be used to build instructional
activities is endless. It opens the door for many different types of student interactions
and collaboration in learning. I would think this could also be used in
professional development activities as well.
This blog focuses on success stories, ideas, supports, services and many more areas in which we can empower people with different abilities in having equal access to the world. Everyone is welcome to join in this conversation. It includes research, experience and opinion. We need to talk about these areas and continue to look at ways to do things better. We have not been doing any of this long enough to be satisfied with what we have. Complacency is not an option for anyone.
