While students practiced their technical communication skills during theirpresentations, they also expressed their thoughts about the camp. A local news channel filmedparts of this symposium and interviewed some of the students. One camper said, "Sometimesyou feel like you are the only visually impaired person out there, but there’s a lot of people outthere who are also trying to do the same stuff and have the same interests as you”7.

We would like to add oneadditional statement in summarizing the significance of implementing the LTT concept: “Ask meto teach and I learn.” Teaching is the ultimate learning activity since it requires the utilization ofhigher order learning skills such as analysis, synthesis, self-evaluation as well as effectivecommunication. Empowering students to teach can stimulate the practice of these skills inteaching projects and beyond. Through this interactive exercise, students who teach will likelydevelop a better understanding of the art of teaching, thus

In college, students maytake a writing intensive course in which they research a course topic or case study2 and presenttheir findings as an oral story to their peers. They learn by teaching others through stories.There are many different methods of faculty storytelling in the classroom.

Since about 70 percent of Americans are past the school age, updating theirtechnological literacy requires access to opportunities outside of formal education.
