While this isn’t a training that we provide, the Michigan Department of Education offers a ZoomText training course. Here’s what they have to say on their website:
“This is a course for teachers (VI and general education), paraprofessionals and parents who are planning to teach a student with low vision to use ZoomText with a word processor (especially Microsoft Word) and/or Internet Explorer. This course will also be useful for adults who are supporting students who are utilizing computers in classroom work. Middle and High School students are welcome to accompany their teacher or paraprofessional to this class.”
