[nobe-l] some questions

[Marianne Denning]

I am doing my student teaching and there are no transcribers in this 
district.  I did have someone read me the book at one point but this does 
not always work.  I need to show hesitant school personnel that I can do the 
job independently.

I will definitely use Bookshare when possible because it is a great 
resource.
