Refreshable braille display in education.


In the 21st century classroom, more digital materials and online resources are being used. Many of these educational materials are fully accessible using braille terminal. Digital materials (Word/Google Documents, PowerPoints, Google Forms, etc.) created by the classroom teacher who, after quick instruction if needed, can create fully accessible materials for all her students. In shared projects, the visually impaired student has instant access to work done by sighted students and vice versa. There are braille letter, phonics, word games and early reader books available for iOS devices and more preschool, kindergarten and early elementary reading and writing apps are being developed with built-in accessibility. This is important for students because it motivates them to do more and not feel that they are incapable of achieving things their peers can do.
