My comment is on rayanshine last blog which is Electronics Texts might not benefit students, Education. I agree with blogger that setting up the device, training teachers, providing uninterrupted internet connectivity and so on are costly to change printed books to electronics . I also agree that printed books are quicker for short look. But, there are some electronic book readers out there for easy access and lighter to carry it around and they can hold tone’s of books at once. And they fit in to a pocket. There would be no more heavy stuff to carry around. I think students would benefit from electronic books. Especially blind students including myself.
it would be a big relief for us if all print books convert to electronics; that way we can get access to all books, newspapers, magazines and so on. Especially getting text books for school is a big challenge for us. Yes we do get our books in Braille or audio format, but that takes a lot of time and it is tiresome for people who records or Braille’s them out. Plus, sometimes, the semester would be over before we get the text books. Not only that, Braille paper is expensive, and Braille takes a lots of space. For example, one print page would be two or more pages in Braille. Because of that, it is heavy to carry it around and takes a large amount of place to store it. Life would be much easier for me and for all blind students if all printed material were to be converted to electronics. We really do get benefit from electronics format. Thanks to technology now a days. We can use computer with screen readers to read electronic books. I can’t wait to see this happen. I understand that blogger’s big concern is today’s economy as it is mine. One thing we can do is pray to all mighty God who can change things around and bless us as he blessed us before. God bless America.
