PULIDO, Deiber Andrés Aldana; QUINTERO, Pedro Alberto Arias  e  REINA, Fredy Angarita. BlindTI, electronic prototype as a learning tool for visually impaired children. RISTI [online]. 2022, n.48, pp.5-22.  Epub 31-Dez-2022. ISSN 1646-9895.  https://doi.org/10.17013/risti.48.5-22.

The objective of the research was to develop the BlindTI electronic prototype as a learning tool for the training of emerging Technologies for children with visual disabilities, with a focus on algorithmics. Children with visual limitations and their parents who belong to the Ojos del Alma foundation in the city of Neiva Colombia, participated in the project. The BlindTI prototype was developed and applied to teach the braille system as well as basic algorithmic concepts in a didactic board for the representation of algorithms. It is evident that the lack of inclusive technological tools enhances the growth of gaps in access to education for children with visual limitations, and that, with the application of the proposal presented in this article, it is possible to contribute to closing this gap and implement teaching and learning methodologies for visually impaired children with a deepening of 21st century skills.

Palavras-chave : algorithmics; braille; visual disability; inclusive education; emerging technologies.
