Raquel Gonzaga (Associacao Cultura Inglesa - Sao Paulo)<br />
Teachers face the challenge of enhancing students’ production and<br />
encouraging self-direct learning outside the classroom. How can we<br />
accomplish such goals when teaching a visually-impaired student? In this<br />
talk, I share my experience on the use of apps in order to promote the<br />
independence and inclusion of a visually-impaired student within a group<br />
of sighted classmates.<br />

interactive whiteboard can help students with special needs and the<br />
advantages and disadvantages of using it in such a context.<br />
