Maybe you've heard the news about the new Perkins SMART Brailler and if you have you're probably pretty excited about it.
Imagine a brailler with a computer screen and the capability to remember who you are, save your files and settings, quiz you on your braille skills and talk to you!
As a sighted parent, imagine being able to see what your child is typing on the screen in both print and braille so you can follow along and help them! What an amazing tool for anyone (child or adult) learning braille and what an amazing tool to have in a classroom!
Here's what the new SMART Brailler looks like:

Thanks for sharing the brailler giveaway from my website! Since this page is an exact copy of the page on my site, I was wondering if you could add a link back to the original article: http://www.wonderbaby.org/articles/smart-brailler-giveaway

This is just to make sure that the search engines know which article is the original. Thanks!
