Oh, OK.

Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year!

I have IE8.
I mentioned that the links wouldn't come up, after I logged in.
It worked at school, but not at home on this laptop.
Ashley gave me some good advice, that I'll try out, next 
semester.
Blessings, Joshua

 What IE version comes with Vista? If Gloria uses Blackboard with
 IE 6, which I believe is a version for Windows XP, it should 
work
 with Vista.

  Joshua,

  Are you sure that Blackboard requires Internet Explorer 9?

  Hello Josh,
  I'm sorry that I have to inform you that I don't, and haven't,
 used
  blackboard so far.  I don't know anything about its
 accessibility
  features or
  how inaccessible it is.  You may want to search for 
"Blackboard"
 on this
  list's archive, for previous posts concerning blackboard,
 located at

  I explained that to her.
  Humberto, what do you know about Blackboard, and why it won't
 work for
  me.
  Thanks, Joshua

  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.

  Joshua,

 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

  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.

  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,
  Jewel

  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
