GIGA School Initiative & One Device per Student Follow-up Seminar
Practical Use of Assistive Technology for Input and Output in Special Needs Education

Under Japan's GIGA School Initiative, many special needs schools across the country have adopted Blue2 FT(manufactured by AbleNet), a wireless interface device that connects ICT devices with a wide range of adaptive switches. We would like to express our sincere appreciation for your continued support and trust in our product.

To help educators make even greater use of Blue2 FT in their classrooms, we are pleased to offer this follow-up seminar.

Our guest speaker will be Professor Katsuhiro Kanamori of Teikyo University, a leading expert in the use of assistive technology in special needs education. Through practical examples from educational settings, Professor Kanamori will introduce effective ways to integrate Blue2 FT into teaching and learning activities.

This seminar is designed for educators who already own Blue2 FT but would like to discover new ways to use it, as well as those seeking practical ideas for maximizing its effectiveness in the classroom. We hope the session will provide useful insights and solutions that can be applied in your own educational environment.

Although this seminar is intended primarily as a follow-up program for schools that have adopted Blue2 FT, it is open to anyone who is interested in learning more about the product and its educational applications.

We look forward to welcoming you to the seminar.
