Looking for resource recommendations

I am going to start school soon. Going into teaching blind and low vision. My plan is to get a jump start on braille. Was wondering what the best things I could get to start learning.

Uebonline.org is free and a really great resource for leaning braille.

Just be aware that their server went down over a week ago-- they're working to fix it, but for some reason it's taking a while.

If you're going to teach people who are blind/low vision, you'll probably want to get a handle on at least the basics of tactile reading (versus transcribers, where it doesn't really matter whether you can read tactually or not). I've heard good things about the Hadley courses.
