Here are some more information for Stand Stereo Microscopes: Introduction Advances in technology have significantly influenced in the blind and low vision individuals. Over the past 20th year improvement in computer has allowed for readily access to VI. Today a large percentage of students with VI spend over 80% of their school days in general educational classroom. Student with very severe visual impairment may need to learn read and write using different methods. Braille is a coded system of dots embossed on paper, so that individuals can feel a page of text. Braille is use for different type of reading such as Maths, and Music. Now seen fewer people are using Braille as a reading method today. First reason is that Braille method is slow. According to Tuttle and Ferrell (1995) reported that good Braille reader achieve a rate of only 100 words per minutes. Nolan (1967) found that average high school students who is blind reads even fewer words per minutes. Can you think of some other reason, Why Braille is less popular today? The first reason is that the teachers don't know how to use or teach the Braille and unavailability of the experts. Another reason is increasing availability of audio tape, immediate computerized print to voice translation difficulty of getting Braille version of books. Braille literacy has become focus of a great debate. Advanced technology is a reason for its unpopularity. VIBUG (Visually Impaired Blind User Group), the Boston Computer Society are exchanging information to expand computer literacy among person with visual impairment. Gaining access of technology and the assistive device designed to minimize the effect of their disability. These exciting technological advances open up a new world for people with severe visual impairment. Technological aids categorized under three heads. Technological Aids Visual aids Audio aids Tactile aids CCTV Talking books Emboss material Microcomputer Record player Perkins Brailler OHP Compact disk Braille Printer Audio cassettes Telephone Mobile Karzweil Reader Audiodescreption Community Radio CCTV - It can be used to enlarge the print found in printed texts and books. Microcomputer – Using special word processing program can produce large print display that allow person with low vision.

Braille Printer – A special designed Braille printer is attached to a micro computer, standard text can be translated into Braille, allowing teacher who does not know how to use Braille to produce Braille copies of handouts, tests, maps, charts and other class materials Community Radio – It is a recent development in the technology.( Sakal Newspaper Published news on 23 March 2010) conducted exam of VI students with the help of community Radio. It is a great contribution of Vidyavani section – Advanced Educational lab for Blind of University of Pune, in the area of special education and especially for VI Assistive Educational divice Punani and Rawal (2000) have classified assistive educational device into eight categories. These are as follow.-- In addition there are also devices for children with low vision. Some of these devices are: Spectacles, microscopes, telescopes, hand and magnifiers, visors, good contrast, reading writing stands, black pens, exercise book with dark lines, use of bright colours where needed, large print books, magnifying glass, computer, etc. Use of technology for VI Availability of technology and assistive educational devices is important for VI person is no doubt, but now the question is raised in mind that, what is the duty of teacher? How they know about technology? Are they interested to get knowledge about technology? Will they are aware about technology or not? To find out this curious view point the researcher took following study: Title: - : Teacher's awareness about the availability and use of technology for visually impaired : a study. 1) This study is limited to technology which is available for VI 2) This study is limited to teachers who teach the VI students at primary and secondary level. 1) The present study may provide the information to teachers of VI regarding the technological facility which is useful for VI. 2) The study creates awareness in teacher of VI to know the available technology for VI. If teachers aware about technology they will try to get the knowledge. Many NGO's can take part to arrange training program for teacher to give the knowledge of technology. The study may give great contribution to generate knowledge and useful for VI. This is a descriptive research and a survey method was used. All teachers who teach in special school and integrated school set up in Pune district. 23 teachers who teach at primary and secondary level from special school and integrated school were selected. A purposive sample method was used. To understand the awareness about technology, the researcher constructed the questionnaire. The researcher used open and close ended question to get maximum information from teacher.
