This relay will also serve as yet another way for us to disceminate news and information in realtime.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>For those of you who are not familiar with HeyTell, it is an app for iOS and Android devices which allows you to send and receive short voice messages, similar to a Walkie Talkie. HeyTell’s group feature allows for the creation of groups of up to 25 members and for the sending and receiving of group messages. If a group is set up as a “public relay,” as is our group, all messages you send to the group will go to all members, just as all emails sent to a listserv go to all its members. HeyTell is available for free in both the iOS and Android app stores. The app is also fully accessible and is widely used by blind people. If you would like to join our HeyTell group, please contact me using any of the contact information below and I will add you to the group. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to let me know. See you on HeyTell!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Chris Nusbaum, Co-Chair<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Public Relations Committee<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Maryland Association of Blind Students: a division of the National Federation of the Blind of Maryland<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Phone: (443) 547-2409<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Email: <a href="mailto:dotkid.nusbaum@gmail.com">dotkid.nusbaum@gmail.com</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Personal Twitter: @Chrisn98<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>MDABS Twitter: @MDMdabs<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Personal Facebook: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/dotkid">www.facebook.com/dotkid</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Join the MDABS Facebook Group: search for Maryland Association of Blind Students<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Skype: christpher.nusbaum3 or search for Chris Nusbaum<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>“Together, we are changing what it means to be blind.” – Motto of the Louisiana Center for the Blind<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
