As a VI teacher responsible for high school material, I am very
excited to see the prcvi site listed below. I have just begun to
explore it, but I definitly wish I had known about it before my
students took biology. The quality and depth of materials looks
excellent. It is done with Corel draw, I was able to download and open
without having Corel. Getting the braille sizing just right may be a
little tricky, but could be redone if necessary. This would have saved
me a lot of time creating diagrams. I can't wait to check out to see
if they have calculus and physics.
Thanks so much for sending the information.
