Hi Sophie,
When I was in high school and now also in college, as soon as I print the
assignment, I take my small slate and stylus and Braille a short title and
what subject it is for on either the top or bottom of the page. After this,
I punch holes in it and put it in a binder. I have dividers in the binder
for each subject, so I place the labeled assignment in the section where the
divider is for that subject. I also put Braille labels on the tabs of the
dividers so that I will know what subject each divider is for so that I can
quickly flip to that section of the binder or notebook. I like the idea of
sending assignments electronically, but, unfortunately, not all instructors
will accept them in that format. All of my high school teachers mainly took
printed assignments, and I have had a few college instructors here and there
that still prefer having printed hard copies just because they just
preferred it that way, even though they could have just had us email it or
submit it through Moodle or Blackboard. I think it depends on the teacher or
instructor, so you could always ask your teachers if they will allow you to
submit assignments through email. Otherwise, for printed assignments, I have
found that labeling them in Braille was the most helpful way, and also
keeping them organized in a notebook or binder.
Hope this helps,
Misty

Hey Listers,

I'm in high school, and most of the time, I print out assignments to turn
them in to my teachers. However, I have no way of knowing which of the
printed papers in my bag is for math and which for English, etc, so I often
have to fumble around in my bag, pull out all of my paprs, and ask my
friends to tell me which one is which. How do you guys keep your print
papers organized? Are any systems particularly effective? Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Sophie
