[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT Braille

[Liz]

I learned a little of the slate and stylus. 
I always disliked it even though the teacher claimed it might be necessary if technology failed. 
I did figure out that it was writing backwards. 
I’m working on improving mine since I”m not comfortable with my limited proficiency. 
I like the idea of page-length ones and the one where there’s no need for reversal.

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.

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.

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.
