[BlindMath] Programming with young blind and visual impaired students

[rjaquiss at earthlink.net]

Hello:

     As far as languages go, C isn't too hard to work with. As long as the
syntax is correct, a C program will run. The writer can run code through a C
beautifier to make it pretty. In some ways, I like compiled languages the
best because there is an executable that doesn't require a runtime library.
For kids, if you want to control Lego(R) you can use NXC (Not Exactly C),
Quorum or robotc from CMU. Note for use with LEGO systems, you have to
change the firmware in the brick. It is cool to see a NXC program move a
LEGO robot in a pattern and a BLV student can feel the result.
Hope this helps.

Regards,
Robert
