[nabs-l] having pop quizzes

[Misty Dawn Bradley]

Hi,
I had several pop quizzes that involved writing short essays in my English 
class, so I had a scribe or fellow classmate read the questions to me, and 
then I would go out in the hall and type my answers on my laptop while the 
questions were read. My professor allowed me to email it to him after class 
or whenever I was able to access the Internet, although with my laptop I 
could access the Wifi network at school. Perhaps if you have a laptop, 
IPhone, or Android device maybe you could sync the file to one of these if 
you can get internet? Also, maybe you could take the Braille Note to the 
Disability Services office and connect it to one of the computers there and 
then sync the file and email it or put it on a thumb drive. The Disability 
Access office at my school has Jaws and Zoomtext on the computers, so if 
that is the case at your school, you may be able to transfer the file to one 
of their computers and email it there.
Hth,
Misty
