The National Association of Blind Students, a division of the National Federation of the Blind, has many conference calls to talk about various topics. The latest call (which ended about an hour ago) was called Philosophy 101 and was about the NFB philosophy. Before now, the only way to listen to the conference call was to call in from your phone. If you’re like me and don’t have long-distance for free, then you have to get patched through on someone’s three-way or not get to listen. Now, however, there is a quick and easy way to listen to the conference calls through online streaming or downloadable podcasts afterwards.
The organization’s new online center can be found at this link , and has links to podcasts and live streaming during a conference call. It even tells you when there is a conference call going on!
Remember the last post talked about the NFB discussion groups at nfbnet.org? Well, NABS is one of those groups that has a listserv there, and joining that listserv will gain you access to announcements of when the conference calls will be, as well as a multitude of topics of interest to students, whether in high school years, undergraduate years, or graduate years. Give it a try, and you might find yourself learning something useful!
