[nabs-l] Google Apps

[Cindy Bennett]

Hi,

I know this comes up time and time again and that accessibility of
Google products is getting better and so is the documentation.

I am just starting classes, and Google Drive, Docs, Slides, and
everything is used by everyone. Literally.

I have attempted to read the documentation and am getting no where. I
know that using JAWS is the worst idea, but I could really benefit
from talking to someone about workarounds.

If anyone is willing to talk to me a bit off list, I would really appreciate it.

Sorry for the rant, but it is becoming immediately apparent that I am
the "different" student in my cohort. There is a collaborative slide
deck that several students are working on at the same time right now.
And there is a social aspect as well, messing with peoples' slides,
writing humorous things, etc. And I am totally missing it. I have to
remind everyone 200 times that I need to use a different format and it
is an inconvenience to everyone. I just really want to try to access
as much as I can using the same products. I just continue to spend
hours trying to figure out workarounds and get nowhere. So I am
clearly not doing something right, or the things I am attempting are
not accessible as the documentation claims.

Thanks,

Cindy
