escription: We will explore the beautiful and diverse mathematics and science jungles. As usual, we will explain a foundation of symbols and concepts, for BOTH Nemeth Code and UEB, and we will introduce resources for further study and reference. This is part of the five-part Come back to me, braille! series. Instructor: Kyle DeJute Instructor s Title: Braille Trainer Instructor s Affiliation: APH (American Printing House for the Blind) Instructor s Email: kdejute@aph.org Instructor: Dawn Eadens Instructor s Title: Digital Textbook File Developer Instructor s Affiliation: APH Instructor s Email: deadens@aph.org Primary Core or ECC Area: Compensatory Skills (specifically, braille) Target Audience: transcribers, teachers of the visually impaired, paraprofessionals who know braille, prison braille groups Pre-requisite knowledge: at least basic braille knowledge, completion of at least a braille 101 course is a plus Lesson Plan Goal: Describe how foundational concepts of UEB apply to Math/Science and also describe foundational concepts of the Nemeth Code for Math and Science Learning Objectives: 1) identify what terminology BANA recommends for codes used to transcribe math and science in the U.S. (UEB Math/Science, UEB with Nemeth), 2) describe one common mistake made in UEB Math/Science transcriptions (e.g., not using grade 1 mode), 3) explain why there is not just one way to prepare electronic files for math/science transcription, 4) describe one common mistake made in UEB with Nemeth transcriptions (e.g., forgetting base-line indicators) |
