Beneblog: Technology Meets Society

Micronesia left quite an impression on me. It's great to go to completely different places, spending time learning about history, politics, issues and culture from new perspectives. Apparently, typhoons are a big deal in Micronesia. Micronesia is hard to sum up in a few words. Waste disposal is hard on these tiny islands.

The main goal of visiting Micronesia is for me to gain a real-world perspective on schools and books for students with disabilities. This was a big relief, since we would be responsible for making sure these books are accessible to disabled students in Micronesia. The books were by major publishers that I recognized.

The state is bankrupt, and the soaring price of fuel has crimped travel in an place where motor boats are the most effective means of transportation. They've worked together on screening children with vision impairments. The government offices we visited were without electrical power.
