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.

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. Edward C.

Structured Discovery Cane Travel in Context: Arguments for Its Continued Practice in Our Current Environment by Ryan Carsey https://nfb.org//images/nfb/publications/bm/bm21/bm2104/bm210413.htm <https://nfb.org/images/nfb/publications/bm/bm21/bm2104/bm210413.htm> 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.
