[Blindmath] computer code

[Sabra Ewing]

The teacher could also do some of the unplugged lessons. Even if the whole class doesn't want to do them, a teacher could work with a few students to do some. I'm not saying that all of the actual coding lessons should be replaced with these, but they might be really good to get to know some people in the class, Which will be hard if the student is doing different lessons than everyone else. Some of these seem so good but I think they should be used in blindness awareness workshop's instead of the unhelpful blindfold simulations. It would make students in the class actually learn to communicate with a blind student instead of being happy for some reason that they can't pour cereal under blindfold. I never did get that. People would mess up simple things in these blindfold simulations, and they would be happy about it. Anyways, I think it would be good. Like for the graphing paper one, you could use a graphing board instead.
