>> Hello List

>> summer at an intensive for blind students I've decided this is the
>> time!
>>
>> My focus will be elementary school aged children and I need to take a
>> course called Math for Elementary School Teachers as part of the
>> pre-requisits for the Teacher Education program. The thought of taking
>> math courses scares the living daylights out of me because I was
>> terrible in math at school but here we go. Braille is my primary
>> medium especially when it comes to math and I'm wondering whether
>> anyone has good suggestions on how I might either get the book
>> transcribed or even get it in a form of E-Braille that is actually
>> interpreted properly by my braille display.
>>
>> I'm also wondering if there are any of you who teach in the Washington
>> or Portland areas? It would be wonderful to connect with someone who
>> has actually done this successfully. At this point, I'm not as
>> concerned about talking to someone who is a teacher of blind students
>> as what I am with talking to someone who is in a classroom teaching
>> sighted students. This is what I'll have to do in my practicum and
>> teacher training and I know they will ask me a ton of questions as to
>> how I'll accomplish particular tasks. I plan to start volunteering in
>> the elementary school system as soon as possible again.
>>
>> I'm sure excited to have found this list! Hope you don't mind lots and
>> lots of questions because trust me, I have many!
