Seeking TVIs or parents who are currently working with K-12 students with visual impairments and who would be interested in helping students interview adults with visual impairments for a podcast (using conference call technology, not face-to-face). The goal: create interesting content for the career-awareness segment of the ECC for students to review and engage with from home during the pandemic. I have several interested interviewees, I have a Zoom account, and I’m setting up social media and technology tools to make this engaging, but I need collaborators. Please message me if you can help.
It’s My Job is now hoping to develop a list of blind/visually impaired students (kindergarten through 12th grade) who would like to conduct interviews, as well as adults who would like to be interviewed.
Would you like to be an interviewer? It’s easy! You can interview an adult who is blind/visually impaired who you already know about his/her career or field of study, or we can match you up with someone from a growing list of people who would like to be interviewed. Here’s the process:
Recorded interviews will be edited, captioned, and uploaded as podcast episodes, to be shared via social media. We hope that the It’s My Jobpodcast will help students learn about a wide range of career opportunities. The episodes will be especially useful now while students and teachers are working from home, and they’ll remain available for use in the future.
