New Twitter

Some of my former students are on both Twitter and Facebook. So am I! It seems to be a matter of preference as to which they prefer. Twitter seems to be more conducive for the totally blind or braille readers using a screen reader. Facebook is more visual so those with some sight or with low vision prefer it. I don't know. What's your opinion?

 I have  started  new Twitter account for Ms. Kathy's Kids at https://twitter.com/#!/MrsKathysKids. It's separate from my personal Twitter account.

Biographies and Videos

I found videos to accompany the biographies of famous people with visual impairments and now Proboards lets you link in from YouTube. The only problem is that children who go there at school where there is a network will have these videos blocked. YouTube does not show up on Groupwise/Novell networks..So if you are at work and your company is also on such a network the videos may appear as empty white boxes. You can wiat to see them at home on your home computer or at the library.

Go to the message board at http://mskathy.proboards30.com and look under "Biographies."
