[nabs-l] when technology interferes with testing

[Kaiti Shelton]

Hi,

I would definitely recommend using a computer if you have access to
one.  If you don't, is there a braillist or someone who could go onto
the site and put the drills into braille for you?  Then you could read
from the braille, type your answers on your computer or BrailleNote,
and email them back to your teacher.
