I had a student with Cerebral Palsy who only has proficient access to one finger,” Virani said. “The iPad comes along and 35 minutes after opening it from the box, he wrote his name for the first time — it was the first word he ever wrote. I thought if we can do this in 35 minutes, what can we do in nine months? The possibilities are endless when we have the right tools.”

The TabCam is a wireless streaming camera that captures and delivers live video to other devices. Virani uses the TabCam to broadcast lessons to and from anywhere in the room.

Students can access the content when they need a refresher or miss class and to collaborate with their peers. Teachers can use it to track their curriculum and share content with the class or with other schools. It also makes it easier to customize lessons for each student, and to engage parents and other teachers in their education.
