DCMP

The DCMP has accessible titles available for educators and parents to include in honoring America’s heroes, past and present. Our extensive collection of accessible media covers numerous historical events and provides historical context for the celebration of Memorial Day. Your students will learn the history of America’s military as well as become familiar with several heroic acts of men and women who championed our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Many of you are avid accessible media users. In some situations, the child you had in class this year will soon be moving on to another classroom or school. Please remember to:

• pass on to next year’s teacher(s) information about the DCMP library, along with your endorsement of our free-loan service. You could also consider including this flyer.
• pass on to parents information about their opportunity to use DCMP this summer (or anytime). This issue of our newsletter is chock-full of ideas for them, or send this flyer home. If you send DCMP a parent’s email address, we can send them information from here (and our communication will be accessible to any blind parent through a screen reader).

Adult DCMP members can now create logins for students to access DCMP library materials directly. Only media approved by the main account holder may be viewed by the student subaccount. The subaccount will have access to media only when permissions are granted.
To create a subaccount, log in and click the “Account” link (on the top right), then click the “New Child Account” button (near the bottom of the account page). Complete the form by providing the subaccount holder name and creating the username and password.
