OIB-TAC July Webinar: Using AI: How, When, and Why?

Join OIB-TAC on July 19, 2024, at 2:00 CST, for our next webinar! AI is the latest buzzword, but what exactly is it and where does it fit in your teaching toolkit? Join us for a conversation with Ricky Enger as we explore real-world examples for using artificial intelligence in daily living, on the job, and for recreation. We’ll share strategies for introducing AI in a clear and approachable way and show how it can be used to supplement rather than replace existing vision rehabilitation skills. And because no tool is perfect, we’ll cover potential pitfalls to keep in mind when discovering everything that AI has to offer.

New NRTC Resource

The National Research and Training Center on Blindness and Low Vision (NRTC) has a new, free resource: Finding Services: A Beginner’s Guide to Visual Impairment.

This video was created in response to comments from people who are visually impaired who participated in research projects conducted by the NRTC. It explains and provides contact information for major agencies or organizations supporting people with vision loss. This video will help people who are visually impaired reach out to agencies or organizations that may assist them in finding the support they need to live independently, become employed, or retain a job.

This video may also inform service providers of other resources and referral opportunities. Please consider using or sharing this resource with others.
