[nabs-l] DSB meeting, a waste of time!

Hi Gloria,

IE is an abbreviation for Internet Explorer, the Internet browser 
that comes with Windows.  Joshua, which version of Windows are 
you running? If you're running XP, then you probably have IE 8, 
which I think works with Blackboard.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."
-- Kenneth Jernigan (President, National Federation of the Blind, 
1968-1986

 The I C.A.N.  Foundation helps blind and visually impaired youth 
in Maryland say "I can," by empowering them through providing 
assistive technology and scholarships to camps and conventions 
which help them be equal with their sighted peers.  For more

Hi what is IE? What does that program do? I am not fimilure with 
it and I
use blackbord for school also and if there is something that 
could help that
would be great.  I find that blackboard is pretty accessible for 
the most
part, but any additions of course can be helpful.

 I'll need to get Windows 7, and the latest version of IE, in 
order to
 access Blackboard, from home.
 Our school uses it, and I like it.
 Blessings, Joshua

 Joshua,
 blackboard is pretty  accessible, so if the school uses that 
you'll be
 okay.
 Press H for getting to major headings.
 If you cannot read a part of it or find PDF files, get your 
professor to
 send you that text via email attachment.  You can read it in 
plain text
 then.

 They have me in Music Appreciation, which is online, so any 
advice on
 this online class would be appreciated.
 Thanks, Joshua

 don't do biology online.  There are many videos and visuals I'm 
sure.
 Just go to class and listen to sermons later on.

 I just added this experience, to what I dealt with, concerning 
Rehab.
 These two things, together ruined my day, yesterday.
 The complaint was more about the Rehab counselor not showing up.
 I would take this Biology class, online, but I hear that online
 classes are inaccessible.
 Has anyone had experiences with online classes?
 Thanks, Joshua

 Are you really complaining about the fact that you have class at 
a
 time when you usually go to church? This has nothing to do with 
you
 being blind, so just go to class!

 She's supposed to E-mail my advisor, at the college.
 We're a community college, so we don't have priority 
registration.
 This is the only time the class is offered.
 Our church will put our services online, after they're recorded, 
now.
 Blessings, Joshua

 Miscommunicatin are totaly going to happen.  What did she say 
she'd do
 to make up for this miscommunication? Why did you wait until now 
to
 do
 your schedule for next semester, or does your school not have
 apriority registration time period? I was signed up for next
 semester's schedule weeks ago, and got the scheudle I wanted, as 
I
 have every time.  For example, I need to have short days at 
least
 every
 other day (preferably no classes, but some classes meet every 
day).
 This last semester (Fall), I got Tuesdays and Thursdays off.  
This
 coming semester, I'll have the afternoons off on Monday, 
Wednedsday,
 Friday.  If your disability support services has it, ask for 
priority
 registration as an accommodation.  You'll get more favourable
 schedules
 that fit yhour needs that way.

 Just my opinion, so don't shoot me for it,

 Hi, it's Joshua Lester.
 I'm tired of these slow DSB people!
 I went to the college, to meet Ms Audrey, (my counselor,) but 
she
 didn't show up!
 She called us, at the last minute, and told us that she went to 
the
 campus, 30 miles away.
 She Googled our college, and only saw that one, and said she 
never
 thought that they'd have a campus so close to it.
 The woman also misunderstood what we said, but instead of 
calling
 our
 cell phone, she called our home phone.
 She thought we said to meet us at the "Community," center.
 She was supposed to meet us at the student center.
 She should have called our cell, so we could clear it up.
 Anyway, we're about to have her E-mail the staff members, that 
she
 needed to meet with.
 On another note, I have my Spring schedule.
 I have a monday, and wednesday class, from 6:30/9:20, wich will 
keep
 me out of church.
 This has been a bad day!
 Blessings, Joshua
