Description
Are you a TVI looking for great hands-on methods for creating tactile graphics with your students? APH’s Tactile Graphics Kit provides a fun, convenient, and highly effective solution for designing and delivering graphics. How do you use aluminum sheeting for graphics creation, and which kinds of graphics work best with this process? How do you get these to your students, and involve them in the process? Spend some time with us learning the “hows” and “whys” of utilizing this wonderful kit in the classroom setting. Craft along with us as we make a few aluminum tactile graphics together for math, social studies, and science worksheets!
