We will meet there from 6:00 - 7:30.  I suggest you carpool and leave early due to
traffic on Nicholasville Road in Lexington.

  1. How long does it take to get from Richmond to Lexington? I live in Danville, but have class earlier in the day on Monday and need to make sure I have adequate time to get there.

  2. I work on nicholasville rd and every monday I leave my work at 4:30 and usually make it to Richmond around 5:20. Your hitting rush hour traffic in Lexington so that is why it takes so long.

  4. It is designed to help people with assistive technology. If someone cannot use a mouse to use the computer, what would they do? If a person couldn't use the keyboard, what would they do? If a person has dyslexia and can't read text, how can a computer assist them? We will be broken into groups to explore the various tools and technology the center has available to assist people. Chapter 15 in our book addresses what we will be talking about :).

  5. Sounds like fun and it will be nice to not be in the class room. I enjoy hands on learning.

  6. Also... does anyone have specific directions, or the address to this place so I can Mapquest it? I'm not extremely familiar with Lexington.

  8. Adam, :) Did you see that the address was posted right above this or within the post?

    Straight down Nicholasville Rd towards downtown. Left onto Southland Drive
    Behind or to the right of Marika's German restaurant.
