Culminating Luncheon Report
At the conclusion of the symposium, a "culminating luncheon" was held among symposium participants. The goals of this session were to foster reflection regarding symposium proceedings, and stimulate collective speculation regarding future potential for instructional technology in deaf education and what barriers are likely to hinder the realization of the optimal implementation of technology. The following notes attempt to capture the rich discussions that ensued. (../LunchSummary.pdf)
