[blindlaw] Question about study methods.

[Aimee Harwood]

Hello everyone. I am enjoying my first couple weeks of law school. I am finding that it is taking way too long to process the information given. I have been out of school for 13 years so it isn't like I was already in the swing of things before I started.

What methods have you, past and current students, found to be most productive and helpful in taking notes from the reading. I know the briefing will come as I do more of them. I mostly use. VoiceOver on my MacBook as well as my iPhone and iPad.

What, if any, apps or programs do you find to have features that make taking note,s in or outside of class, most effective and efficient?  

I really would be interested in hearing what techniques you have found to be most helpful. What do you find to be the best way to manage the textbooks.  None of mine were available with bookshare.

My equipment:
MacBook Pro
Vario ultra braille display
Eye pal
Prodigy Duo 24
iPad

We all know that the mere nature of blindness takes longer than it takes a sighted person. I would like to hear some way you have minimize that factor. 

Thanks you guys! I really appreciate your sharing this information with me and the group
