organize a tech conference for teachers? I'd bet PIBE could sponsor
something at the NFB Jernigan Institute or talk to Dr. Maurer about using the
facilities where there would be access to the International Braille and
Technology Center to hold such an event. I think it's a great idea and
much needed. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Hello Everyone,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A question for all to think about. Are there any out there that would
like for all of us to get together and have time to touch/use all types of
technology and ask questions about it, then get actual lessons on the most
used tools, like JAWS, desktop, laptop computers, braille note,
etc.<BR><BR></DIV>
