Beneblog: Technology Meets Society

MARCH 5, 2008

The final stop for my Micronesia trip was Guam, a U.S. The centerpiece of the meeting on Guam was the first leadership meeting of the Pacific Consortium for Instructional Materials Accessibility Project, or Pacific CIMAP for short. Guam has a huge American military presence: the armed forces control about a third of the island.

By the way, Mike and Mary work for the University of Guam at the Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, Education, Research and Services (CEDDERS), who manages the Pacific Consortium for Instructional Materials Accessibility Project (CIMAP), which is the whole reason I'm here in the Pacific!

Donna is the main reason I'm involved with this project: she's an itinerant teacher of the blind in rural Minnesota. She has also made Micronesia her professional mission focus. In addition to meeting with key leaders and visiting schools, Donna McNear really wanted me to see blind children in their homes.
