[Blindmath] C++, Flow charts and Raptor access with braille and Jaws?

[Amanda Lacy]

At ACC? I'm surprised. Fiddling around with drawing tools is not something I 
did in my fundamentals of programming course at ACC. I actually just learned 
programming. I think your tactile graphics of the flow charts will be useful 
though, and I'm glad you are Brailling the teacher's example programs. those 
programs were crucial for me in the begining.
