Welcome to the LBC-Instructors List. This list serves as a forum for instructors teaching Assistive Technology at the Lions Blind Center, Oakland, and provides an easy-to-use means of communicating with one another about questions, concerns, procedural changes, and other relevant information pertaining to the occupants of the LBC Computer Lab. This list welcomes your feedback; please try to keep messages on-topic. The LBC-Instructors List is a closed list and is not available to individuals other than those currently teaching Assistive Technology to clients of the LBC. I hope you will all continue to offer your feedback and suggestions, I can't guarantee that we will be able to implement everything all at once, but some of you have had some wonderful ideas which I am at liberty to carry back to our administrators, and I hope this trend will continue. Always remember that we are here to foster greater independence and productivity among other members of the community who are blind, and this is our ultimate goal, regardless of the creative means we must all employ at times to make that happen. We have an excellent program, but perhaps we can make it even better, and improve the experience for clients and teachers alike in the process. Please keep your good ideas coming! You can email me privately if you have something to say and wish to remain anonymous, or you are welcome to simply post to the list for further discussion. Please remain courteous and observe proper etiquette toward one another. We want to make this process as easy for everybody and as useful as possible while we strive to continually improve on this fantastic program. Thank you.
