Episode Synopsis

Welcome to part 2, of the interview with Mr. Bill McCann, founder of Dancing Dots! On this episode, we talk all things technology back in the 1970's to mid 1990's! We look at a tactile device that would display print letters, along with the evolution of the screen reader for computers. All this and more, right here! On Teachavision! We'd Like to once again thank Mr. McCann, for allowing us to interview him for this podcast!
