Hi again everyone,
Today in block class I learned a lot about mentoring and networking. One of the things that people seem to think is so hard about braille is that they think they have to learn it all themselves and that only their teacher can answer their quesitons. This isn't really so. When I thought about the students studying braille this semester and the students I've had study braille in the past I reealised I had a great opportunity to be able to help people to support each other.
If you'd like to contact someone who's already completed the Braille For Educators course, please see me and I'll be happy to put you in touch with someone who's completed the course and that uses braille in a similar way to the way you will be using it. For example, I know a lot of braille transcribers, one teachers' aid who's completed the UEB course and a good few teachers who've now be certified in UEB.
If you would like more information on mentoring or contact details of someone you might like to have as a mentor, please email me at my work email address:
Happy brailling!
Nicola
