October 2018 Webinars Lineup
In October, we’ll be hosting our 2018 Professional Development Conference in Detroit, and we hope many of you will be joining us. We know that travel costs and time commitments for the conference isn’t workable for everyone, and that’s why we’ve been expanding our web-based learning opportunities.
This month, we’ll continue to offer our three 15-minute length webinars at no cost. These are open to anyone with an internet connection anywhere in the world. Our monthly Formats Friday webinar focuses on the newest Braille Formats code, while our Music Monday webinar offers music transcribers a look into the Music Braille code. Our third webinar, which we’ve nicknamed Braille Bytes, offers a different rotating topic each month–this month we’ll be discussing Tactile Graphics.
The webinars are offered on a first come, first serve basis. There is no need to register in advance. Simply join in by using the links below, a few minutes before start time.

Music Monday – Stem Signs
Presenter: Kathleen Cantrell
Monday, October 15 at 1:0op EST
Description: During last month’s Music Monday webinar, we learned about using in-accords to show different simultaneous rhythms. Sometimes it’s very difficult or not possible to use in-accords, so we can use stem signs instead. Join us to learn how stem signs are shown in braille!
