[NABS-L] Food for Thought: Time Management Materials for Blind Students

[Justin Williams]

I have several other methods I used.  We can find a way to get together on
the phone, and I can share them. 
I've got two master's degrees, so I've gone through the saw mill and the
salt minds.

Best Regards
 Justin

Kendra,

You and I have had vent fests about this issue, and that's what prompted me
to get on this list to ask these questions.

Since we both have these concerns, I again ask what we can do about it. What
would a time management tool kit look like for a blind/visually impaired
college student? It is true that for many in the blind community, their
smart phone has become the best tool for planning out their day, week or
month. I'm thankful for the calendar apps on my iPhone.

So, let's  ask ourselves. What are the specific concerns you face as blind
college students? Can this material be put together into a package that can
be placed on the Student Division web site? Can we do a blog post, podcast,
or article about this topic. If there is the need for a program or module
like this, I'd like it to be made available in forms like this. I'm not sure
if the student division is still doing conference calls. If they are, and
they're archived, that can help. However, if not, could a podcast, blog post
or article address these issues?

Also, Kendra, I think you've hit on another concern I've seen: lack of tech
training. In an ideal world, I'd love to see a tech training center in every
state, but that's not bound to happen. I believe that what you're looking
for, if I've heard you right is for someone to give you step-by-step
detailed tutorials on how to use various pieces of tech, much like what we
see on the Apple Vis site. You also want to see these trainers give specific
nonvisual directions so you can follow the steps in the sequence.

But back to time management and the issue of college burnout. Can we put
something together to address this issue?

Thanks.
