Training the Trainers: The NFB Jernigan Institute Sets the Standard

On October 15, 2014, the NFB Jernigan Institute’s Access Technology Team sponsored a two-and-a-half day seminar to train the trainers. Presenters included representatives from Google, Microsoft, and other top-flight technology developers. Participants who wished to enhance their training skills came from rehabilitation agencies, K-12 schools, and colleges and universities. Some were new to technology for the blind, while others were technology experts. All participants received hands-on training, thanks to equipment available through the International Braille and Technology Center and with the generous support of the technology companies whose products were featured in the training sessions.
