encourage them to respond ASAP.*



*Technology Camp Instructors:*

TECH CORPS Ohio is in search of two instructors to lead its new Technology
Summer Work Camp for high school students with physical, sensory and
learning disabilities.  The 8-week Summer Camp allows students (ages 14-18)
the opportunity to increase their academic, occupational, and basic
work-readiness skills.  This program will give students a chance to discover
their interests and talents through hands-on, activity packed, learning
sessions.  This camp will not only expose participants to information
technology topics but will also place an emphasis on assistive technology.
(Assistive technology enables people with disabilities to accomplish daily
living tasks; assists them in communication; and provides greater access to
education, employment, and recreation.)

      *Technology Summer Work Camp Goals:*

   - Motivate students to explore their own interests and potential in
   technology;
   - Encourage those interested in technology-related careers to aim for
   college and a degree in their   chosen field;
   - Expose students to the use of assistive technology;
   - Help students with disabilities become independent, productive
   members of the growing    technology driven workforce.



This position requires patience and the ability to work with students at
different levels of understanding; flexibility and willingness to calmly
handle unforeseen challenges; a desire to learn about different technologies
that help people with disabilities use computers; strong understanding of
Windows operating system and applications; as well as experience with:
digital cameras, scanners; photo editing software; internet search engines,
Google (email and blogs), and Second Life.  Candidates with experience in an
educational or after-school setting are ideal.
