Episode Synopsis

Welcome back my friends! I have a question for you today. Do you ever find yourself in a situation where you had to create one or multiple tactile maps for your students but you just don’t have the time and energy to go to the store, get the materials, draw every street and lines from scratch, while trying to get you other tasks done? What if I told you that there is a faster way to do that?
In this episode, we are so excited to have Greg Kehret who will be sharing information about the TMAP software which could help you create tactile maps more efficiently. Greg is the director of the Media and Accessible Design Lab of San Francisco Lighthouse for the Blind (The MAD Lab). He got into this field because his best friend was blind. So now he makes sure that visual information could be as accessible as possible.
This episode is filled with information that could help you understand what the TMAP software actually is, what it does, how you use it, as well as where you can get it. You will also get to learn about the process of using TMAP and the possible hurdles that students or users will face.
