[Faith-talk] Accessible faith resources for all ages

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi,

I entered college between digital stages; meaning, I entered as the digital 
stuf was coming aboard but certainly not widespread as a teaching tool.
I saw the transition to digital before me. I entered college using 4 track 
tapes and exited college using textbooks on cds.  Back then, textbooks could 
be ordered on daisy CDs from RFB in addition to downloading them.
You had options back then.

To download most books such as talking books via BARD, you unzip the files; 
at least you do on a pc. This means you unpack the files that are compressed 
or zipped up.
They do this for faster downloading.

Glad the bookshare app is good; I've heard bad stuff about the learning ally 
app.

To get back to faith things, what faith sources have you found via bookshare 
that you liked?
I've thought about joining.

I'd like to read up on church history more.
And hope Blind inc turns out to be what you want it to be.

Ashley

Hi there Ashley! I followed through on the assessment VR asked me to do so 
hopefully my VR counselor and his boss follow through on their promises. I 
was told that this assessment was the only "formality" and that it was just 
for baseline to write up the plan and I could go up to Minnesota to Blind 
Inc. there I will learn the computer skills finally! The book share app is 
pretty easy to use – called read to go. I do indeed remember the four track 
tapes yeah you mentioned. I used them in college. Back then I had to CCTV 
too. But no more, and no more screen Magnification either so whatever 
Computer skills I had as a mouse user don't work for me. Asked for that 
concept of zipping and unzipping files, I don't get it. I think of a winter 
coat instead. LOL

I've been very negligent or had problems calling in the past but this would 
be an interesting call. I guess the Canadian braille superstore has a lot of 
things if you can afford it. Somebody told me that recently.
