>>Are you a trainer or potential trainer, wishing to find some training
>>opportunities among blind computer users?
>>
>>Are you a computer user, wishing you could find some training, perhaps
>>delivered by phone, by email or in person, and perhaps at a price you
>>can
>>afford?
>>
>>National Braille Press may have a solution to both these needs.  In a
>>few
>>months, this well-known producer of braille materials will publish, in
>>large print, on disk and in braille, a book whose tentative title is
>>One on
>>One.  It will be a directory where trainers will list their contact
>>information, the types of computer training they can offer, the mode
>>of
>>delivering this training, and their prices.  Once the book is
>>available,
>>agencies and consumers will have many more training resources at their
>>disposal.  Individuals can choose a trainer based on location, subject
>>area(s) of expertise, and price.  The book will be reprinted
>>frequently, so
>>additions and deletions can be made to the listing.
>>
>>If you are not a trainer, you can advance this project by forwarding
>>this
>>message to trainers you may know, who may be too busy to participate
>>on
>>this and other mailing lists.  Note that this message will go to the
>>guispeak, gui-talk, nfbcs, training-l, easi and jfw mailing lists.  It
>>is
>>doubtless appropriate for posting elsewhere.
>>
>>If you are a trainer and want to list your services, you must do two
>>things.  First, send me your contact information along with a
>>description,
>>up to 120 words in length, detailing your areas of expertise,
>>capabilities,
>>mode(s) of delivering training (in person, email, by phone,) and your
>>prices.  You can charge whatever you want, and can charge different
>>rates
>>for different activities.  The key is that consumers need to be able
>>to
>>make price comparisons, so however simple or complex your pricing
>>structure, people must be able to know what you will charge.  You can
>>offer
>>some or all of your services for free; you can charge one rate if
>>you're
>>training by phone and another if in person; your rates can vary
>>depending
>>on the application you're teaching: it's all up to you.  Each trainer
>>will
>>have one braille page of information in the book.  Please take pains
>>to
>>reply to me, not to the list, since replies and discussion of the book
>>are
>>off-topic, and I may not even be reading the list.
>>
>>The second thing you need to do as a trainer, unless you are offering
>>all
>>your training as a volunteer (which a few people might do,) is to send
>>a
>>check for $20.00 to National Braille Press.  The check should be made
>>out
>>to National Braille Press, and the memmo should say 'computer
>>training.'  Address the check to MS Diane Croft, National Braille
>>Press, 88
>>St. Stephen St., Boston MA 02115 UsA.
>>
>>this book is the brainchild of Ed Potter, producer of Playback
>>Magazine.  All of us involved in the project hope it leads to more
>>knowledge being made available to blind computer users.
>>
>>I look forward to receiving your questions, comments, and submissions.
