[nabs-l] should I get a notetaker?

[Steven Max-Faults]

Hi Jorge,

Throughout high school, the Board of Ed also gave me a
Braille Note. For the reasons you mentioned, I also found it very convenient
for personal stuff as well. I recommend using the Braille Note from the Board
of Ed for all your needs. I know it’s only supposed to be used for
school-related stuff, but I don’t think anyone would mind. Buying another note
taker would be an unnecessary expense, and not to mention, it would be really
annoying to have to carry around both, remembering to precisely divide your
life into personal and school.

 

Just my thoughts. How do others feel about this?

 

Best,

Steven

Hello list:
Just had a quick queestion.
So, I'm now a freshmen at MANHATTAN HUNTER SCIENCE HIGHSCHOOL, and I'm using a Braille Note the board has given me for school purposes only.
However, I have found the Note's flexibility for quick notes very useful, as in when I need to take phone numbers, etc.
Currently I have a laptop which is doing great for what I need, but doesn't have that easy note-taking flexibility of the Note, where I can just flip the cover up and write something.

Do you guys suggest I get one for personal use?



I could use the one I'm given, but do not, if I can help it, or if I have to usually end up transfering stuff to the PC since its technically not meant for personal stuff.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks.


Jorge
