Deaf and Blind School gets new technology
The Colorado Springs School for the Deaf and Blind has a lot of new technology this new school year to help students learn. A $56,000 grant paid for five digital cameras, 15 computers and some video projectors.
The components should make classroom lessons visual for deaf students and enhance audio for blind students. Student Nicholas Elstad said they tested it out last year and it made a world of difference. "When you don't have any technology it's really more work for us. Having to write notes," said Elstad. "But when you have the laptop, you can type it in, it's much faster."
The grant came from Hewlett-Packard. This is the only Colorado school to receive a grant from HP.
