  Advice To Blind Student Teachers From A Professor Of Education   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Of course, the blind student teacher must have a good knowledge of the subject which is to be taught, but equally important is mastery of the skills of blindness.
Blind educators must learn these skills for all the usual reasons, but it is also true that students are perfectly happy to take advantage of the teacher's blindness.
When the blind teacher goes into a classroom, the lesson must be planned, and he or she must have prepared all the necessary materials and know where they are.

 Blind credential - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It can be quite difficult to ascertain that someone is not using another's credential identity theft — therefore a great deal of effort goes into the application of cryptography to authentication.
Electronic money requires some blind credential system to assert that the money is valid, and has not been already spent, and belongs to the individual or entity that is spending it.
It is usually not wise to consider a blind credential outside of the Public Key Infrastructure of electronic identity guarantees required to support it.

In June, 1990, Judy Krecek, a member of the Kankakee-Heartland Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind of Illinois, spoke to her chapter about her job as a teacher.

          In those days, when a blind student went to private school, there were no materials, so my mother bought a tape recorder she could not afford and read all my books for me. She continued doing all my reading through college and even typed my Latin in large print.

 Blind Children's Resource Center
I was born congenitally blind, on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in New York City.

 Blind Vendors Call For Change   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The participants included a significant number of blind vendors from the Merchants Division of the National Federation of the Blind; a contingent from the American Council of the Blind (ACB) Randolph-Sheppard Vendors of America; and other vendors who are not involved (or involved to any great extent) in either organization.
First, blind vendors faced with competition from break-even facilities are forced to reduce their prices to a point which often threatens the viability of the business itself.
If it is justified for blind vendors to receive such income, which the law says that it is, then there is no valid justification for imposing a limitation merely because the amount of the income seems too high.

 Cryptography
In cryptography, a blind signature is a form of digital signature in which the content of a message is disguised (blinded) before it is signed.
Blind signatures are typically employed in privacy-related protocols where the signer and message author are different parties.
In cryptography, blinding is a technique by which an agent can provide a service to (i.e, compute a function for) a client in an encoded form without knowing either the real input or the real output.

 Corey H. - Updated Summary of Transition Rules to Implement Special Education Certification Structure
Instead, the limitations on the LBS I credential remain in place for three years for special education teachers and seven years for those holding the LBS I credential but not teaching on it, after which time the limitations automatically expire.
Special education administrators are considered to be "using the credential." For teachers who hold other certificates and are teaching on those, the limitations will automatically expire after seven years of certification as an LBS I. For holders of initial certificates, the clock starts with receipt and use of the standard certificate.
While a person holds a "limited" LBS I credential, he or she may be assigned to teach only students for whom he or she holds a pre-existing credential, except that students with one additional disability may be taught at the same time.

 PopMatters | Columns | Michael Stephens | BodyMatters | Blind Boy Blues
But blindness was not just a lyrical motif: it marked the bodies of blues artists like a sign indicating the authentic presence of "the blues".
Blindness was the visible stigmata, the bodily proof of suffering, the ultimate hard-knock credential identifying the true blues artist.
My focus on the blindness of the early blues singers was more than just a way to channel and validate my teenage angst; it was also a connection to an era and a culture that was otherwise utterly foreign to me. Blindness is a universal minority experience.

 Blind signatures; archives?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The idea is that you get a credential by showing that you are entitled for it, but later when you show the credential you shouldn't need to reveal any more information than that you have the credential itself.
Chaum's blinding uses RSA signatures (methods exist for many discrete log sigs as well); the person getting the credential supplies his key in blinded form, the signer signs it, and the receiver then removes the blinding to leave a signed key which the signer has never seen.
There are patent restrictions on blinding, as on most of the other technologies we discuss here, but it still might be worthwhile considering whether credentials could be designed to allow it.

A blind credential is a token asserting that someone qualifies under some criteria or has some status or right, without revealing "who" that person is — without including their name or address, for instance.
It can be quite difficult to ascertain that someone is not using another's credential — identity theft —; therefore a great deal of effort goes into the application of cryptography to authentication.
Privacy of body or habits may be 'dead', for all practical purposes, until political approaches or threats change.

Blindness may have been the basis for unjust actions in former times, but those who speak of the need for equal treatment today are making a mountain out of a molehill.
Blind travel students are often instructed to use a human guide in unfamiliar or noisy areas, to keep the long cane as short as possible in crowds to avoid tripping others, and when possible to hold the cane vertical and depend on residual vision in familiar areas.
Unfortunately many blind people who have refused to learn to use the long white cane have clearly made the wrong choice, and sadly many of them do not recognize that it is this error that seriously limits the quality of their lives.
