A Day Made of Glass--By Corning Glass

Okay, so what does glass have to do with special education?  Quite a bit if you view the YouTube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Cf7IL_eZ38  Now, just think of the possibilities...this is a totally interactive communication environment.  Disabled students who are relying on flip books to make their wants and needs known, need only touch the interactive digital links--on the countertop, on the fridge, anywhere.  Big Mac switch, move over.  The incredible thing is that this "window into the future" is really not so "futuristic" at all.  I guess it is how I felt when I went from the sliderule to the calculator.  The possibilities now are truly infinite.  Let's make sure that our students with disabilities have access to the "glass."
