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.

I'm on an exciting trip to places I've never been before! Although the mission of the trip is to understand the situation of visually impaired students in Micronesia, I absolutely get the benefits of visiting these islands and enjoying the scenery. As a history buff, I didn't know the new names for some of these places.

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 in the local languages were not in as great a shape.
