[nabs-l] Using A Braille Embosser In College

[Anjelina]

Hi Brianna,
I'm saddened to hear a few Braille instructors would see Braille as being 
obsolete. Can you imagine the  revolt if a sighted student had all print 
materials removed from their education? If you can justify a display or 
embosser definitely go for it. Audio feedback is an option, but it can't 
replace the benefits of Braille. Reading a textbook with JAWS or in audio 
format will not automatically give you the spelling and punctuation you get 
with Braille.
Just my thoughts

Hello NABS Members,
My name is Brianna. I will be entering college next Fall and am
working on writing up my justification list of technology I will need
for college. I have spoken to three braille instructores that I know
and  two of them said that braille kind of becomes opsalete and that
you mostly use audio formatts in college, but the third one said that
I will need a braille embosser. I have access to an embosser in school
and I never use it.
Any feedback would be extremely appreachiated.
Thank You
Brianna
