For anyone not familiar with the Described and Captioned Media Program, we are a nonprofit organization Administered by the National Association of the Deaf (http://www.nad.org) and funded by the U.S. Department of Education (http://www.ed.gov). Our purpose is to make free-loan accessible educational media available to parents, teachers, and others working with students who are blind, deaf, visually impaired, hard of hearing, or deaf-blind. We've recently added the first described titles (for the blind and visually impaired) to our collection of DVD, CD-ROM, and streaming titles.
This Halloween-themed flyer (http://www.dcmp.org/flyers/nadf134.pdf) announces new DCMP accessible media titles that contain a variety of innovative features. Anyone with a broadband Internet connection can view a streamed clip (2:14 in length) of “The Body Detectives” by pasting the following address into their browser:
http://play.rbn.com/?url=cmedia/cmedia/open/demand/z/5fvf/bd_clip.rm&proto=rtsp
(the free RealPlayer (http://www.real.com)is required to view streaming titles—it can be downloaded from http://www.real.com).
Of course, we hope that you encourage educators, parents, and others involved with K–12 students who are blind, visually impaired, deaf, hard of hearing, or deaf-blind to visit the DCMP Web site (http://www.dcmp.org) to register for an account. All DCMP services are provided at absolutely NO CHARGE to our members.
