[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT Braille

Annely, you were lucky to have a teacher who did that. Some kids handle it okay, but backwards makes most people struggle.

Hi,

I remember that using the word "backward" was a no no.  When I was in elementary school and one of my classmates was learning to write with the slate and stylus, I piped up and said "it's like writing backward" and my teacher gently but firmly said we don't use that word.  I'll never forget that.

 One of my soapboxes is to
 get teachers ( all of them) to think of dots one  two and three as the first side of the cell and  four five six as the second  side of the  cell.  Then starting at the other end of the slate does  not  change the progression of the Braille.  Then you only have to keep track of  the end  of the line where you start.  Everything else is in  progression.  It  seems pretty simple to  me.  And I have never had a student who couldn't  understand this if somebody had not already  confused them with some other  approach.

 Joyce, I either
 heard of someone working on something like that or it is  out  there.  Or, maybe that is in my  dreams.  That is why it is so important to  learn the dot combinations when you learn  braille.  When you use the slate  and  styllus dots 1, 2 and 3 are on the right.  It really made  it easier for  me to use it when I changed  how I thought of the slate and styllus.  I am  still not the greatest but I can get the job  done.
