Braillebug Reading Club
By Jim Fruchterman
Beneblog: Technology Meets Society
What happens when technology can do great things for humanity, but doesn't
make a lot of money? Jim Fruchterman explores the social entrepreneurship
side of technology applications: how to get great tech tools to the people
who often need them the most, but are least able to afford them!

I'm excited about our growing partnership with the American Foundation for
the Blind, the leading foundation focused on blindness issues. One thing we
just did was to fill in the last few missing titles on AFB's Braillebug
Reading Club. The Braillebug web site is dedicated to promoting Braille to
students who could benefit from learning Braille.

Now, we have all of these recommended children's books for Braille readers
on Bookshare.org in excellent quality. Because all blind students in the
U.S. now qualify for Bookshare.org, this means that these books can be
quickly downloaded into Braille displays or printed out with Braille
embossers. We look forward to adding future books to Bookshare.org as new
titles are chosen for the Braillebug reading club.
