Session 1: Braille, the Big Picture |
In this overview session, partipants will be presented with several "big picture" concepts and ideas in the braille and braille transcribing. A short history of the development of braille and its evolution over the years will also be presented.
Exercises for the Reader
- Carefully read all of the pre-session readings, especially the ones on logistics. We would recommend reading ALL the available information on the Main Page.
- Send mail to Feedback Form (we are no longer accepting submissions) , introducing yourself to the class. Include items such as your current position, your institution, a short job description, and your background in VI education. Feel free to include "personal" items about yourself as well!
- After completing the readings, complete a number of questions about your readings. NOTE: you may need to use other on-line resources to do this!
- If you do not have access to commercial braille software, download a copy of one of the free braille emulation programs.
