Will these classes be archived for future Internet browsing?  I might be
interested in paying for it if they were.

Come to the Mac Academy!
Description
This 5 day intensive workshop is designed to teach participants 
how to use the Voiceover screen reader that is installed on 
every Apple computer running the OSX10.6 Snow Leopard operating system.

Each day will consist of group instruction, time for practice, 
and personalized one on one instruction.

Topics covered include, setting up an Apple computer and using 
Voiceover out of the box, understanding the various elements, 
menus, and dialogs encountered within the OS, and the many 
applications that come pre-installed; word processing, browsing 
the internet, iTunes, file management and much more.

Participants who do not already own an Apple computer will be 
provided one to use while in class and participants may also 
purchase a computer as part of the training so that they may 
take home the computer which they have been working with during 
the workshop.

"Apple is the clear front runner in terms of off the shelf 
accessibility" states Earle Harrison, President and Founder of 
Handy Tech North America, "and we are proud to be among the 
first adaptive technology companies to offer such an in-depth 
and  comprehensive class on this exciting and ever evolving technology."

Who should attend?
Adaptive technology trainers, vision teachers, technicians and 
rehabilitation professionals. Any blind or low vision 
professional or student interested in learning the free 
Voiceover screen reader included with every Apple Macintosh 
computer running the Snow Leopard OSX10.6 operating system, 
with the goal of becoming  more competitive with their sighted 
classmates or co-workers.
