About the Webinar
Do you teach students with visual impairments? Do you want to get them engaged with coding in an interactive, hands-on way?
If you answered “yes”, this webinar is for you!
It can be challenging to find resources for teaching coding to students with visual impairments. SAS believes that every student should have the opportunity to learn to code and aims to accomplish this through SAS CodeSnaps – a collaborative coding environment that can get an entire classroom coding with just a single iPad and a Sphero robot.
During this training, you will learn how to run a CodeSnaps session to meet the needs of students with visual impairments. We’ll provide guidance on:
- Interacting with the SAS CodeSnaps app and running an activity, complete with suggested modifications for students with visual impairments.
- Printing SAS CodeSnaps code blocks with braille and mounting them for tactile learners.
- Setting up an obstacle course for the robot.
- Creating your own lesson to implement in your classroom.
Target Audience
- Teachers of the Visually Impaired
- General Education Teachers
- Assistive Technology Professionals
