Description of CE Program/Activity
 Do you feel intimidated by teaching screen magnification software? Are you unsure why this is a necessary skill to teach students with low vision?This workshop will discuss the need for teaching screen magnification/enlargement software, strategies for determining appropriate software, and resources for acquiring that software. Participants will get hands-on experience to explore using screen magnification software in a variety of ways. Participants will hear ideas for lessons, assessment, and goal writing so that they feel prepared to implement screen magnification software instruction with their students. This workshop is targeted to teachers of students with visual impairments with beginner to intermediate level experience with screen magnification software. This workshop will focus on computer software, not tablets.
