• Joy Zabala and Chauncy Rucker are new managers of the Worldwide Technology Desk of the CEC Division of International Special Education and Services (DISES), and they are recruiting participants who are interested in technology for individuals with disabilities – assistive or instructional technology, distance learning, technology integration, multi-media, video conferencing and more. Joy and Chauncy plan to set up an email list for sharing ideas about special education technology around the world. This might lead to a database of information on international technology research, practices, and conferences. If you have an interest in international technology, please get in touch. You do not have to be a DISES member to join this activity.
