Hearing Impaired (HI) persons need to keep on practicing and repeating their lessons as well as their exercises. Teaching methodology of HI students differ than normal students. HI students need to be involved in practicing more and more using their modes of visual communication like sign language to cover their audio disability. Teaching methodology of HI students recommends demonstration and repeating with slow presentations of instructional material. A teacher displays his lesson directly face to
face without visual noise. More reinforcement and encouragement to HI students , fun & enjoyment should
be strongly included in the e-lessons as well as continuous interaction between teacher and HI students. As
per previous factors the decision of researchers is to develop Drill & Practice (D&P) e-learning modules(eLMs) for selected topics like Mathematics. D&P eLMs of Mathematics for HI persons would be the case study of this research including Developing & Evaluating.
The authors selected D&P eLMs Because eLMs match the requirements and mechanism of teaching methodology for HI students.
The mechanism of developing eLMs is represented by Developing an Authoring System which allows teachers of HI persons to generate any eLM of any selected topic for HI students. Also they can generate multiple eLMs in the project.
The evaluating producer & tools for the experimental eLMs were view points of Experts through openQuestionnaire to list their evaluating comments. Besides view points of experts. There are experiments which were held in real environment of HI students to test the eLMs of D&P of Mathematics to get valuable feedback from them.

Adam Leibsohn: Don't Be Scared of Your DataIGNITE NYC
Adam Leibsohn is the Director of Communications Strategy at Anomaly. Data access and privacy are becoming hotter and hotter topics. Our next speaker is here to present his perspective.
New Orleans is the 46th largest city in the United States and the largest city in the state of Louisiana. The city is well known for its French Creole Architecture as the city is named after Philippe d' Orléans, Duke of Orléans, Regent of France. Here you will find fine cuisine, music (the birthplace for Jazz music), festivals and celebrations and the famous New Orleans Mardi Gras that is held annually in this "most unique" city.
Technology Class presentation to class at Fordham Uniersity, It is meant for classroom teachers to broaden understanfing of integrating technology into teaching and learning.

57. See an decrease in: Agitation Self-Stimulation Perseverative Responses Research Suggests: from Autism: Interventions and Strategies for Success, by Susan Stokes, accessed at http:// www.specialed.us/autism/Autism.pdf )

69. Research On Virtual Environments and Students with Autism Basis – theorized that virtual environments/ technology provides opportunities For communication with others and circumvent their social and communication Impairments and sense of isolation Enables social skills to be practiced and rehearsed in realistic settings in real time Offers environments that are realistic, yet safe and controlled. Use of emoticons
70. Virtual Environments – positive impact Exploratory study conducted to determine if children with autism could understand emotions as represented by an avator. 34 students (ages 8 – 16 years) interacted with software designed to evaluate their ability to identify and make inferences from facial expression. 90% of participants accurately recognized emotions displayed by avatar representations. Collaborative Virtual Environment Technology for People with Autism Moore, et al. Focus on Autism and other Developmental Disabilities, Winter 2005)
71. Children 8 – 11, 10 weeks of Mind Reading software to teach emotion Recognition (ER). Results – following intervention, children improved on face and voice ER for basic and Complex emotions that were in the software as well as complex voice ER for emotions Not included in Mind Reading.
