Hi all,
I've talked with Dr. Bell about this for years. Count me in as I've got all
kinds of random bits and pieces I've written that could be useful. Something
else to consider would be a group who is willing to interview and write
articles based on what has been learned by seasoned instructors who perhaps
don't teach currently or aren't much for writing. For example, my entire
Tech cohort is either now in management or other areas of rehabilitation,
but we had 35+ years of teaching experience between the three of us.
Perhaps that's its own story in itself.

I was just talking with someone about the need for updated literature from
the standpoint of SD. I would love to be a part of this working group.

Justin,
Thanks for sharing. This reads pretty good.
Last summer, he contacted me about writing a Structured Discovery textbook.
I suggested that folks like Merry Noel, Jeff, myself and others like you
have been at this writing business for a while, some some collaborative
effort would be best so as not to work across purposes, but we never got
back around to it.
Perhaps it is time for a small group to consider taking on this task.

Hi everyone,
There is an article in the 2021 issue of the Braille Monitor, and I'd like
to call your attention to it.

Practice in Our Current Environment

I teach in Pennsylvania, and I actually did not realize that this guy lived
in Pennsylvania.
I wonder if we ought to step up to do more writing like this to help spread
the word throughout the Federation about what we're experiencing as teachers
of the blind right now and to dispel myths about remote instruction.
I'm not really in a position right now to grasp the fullness of it, but I
think it's worth reading.
Aloha,
Justin
