Before January 7, 2021, we invite you to submit a 60-second video clip telling a personal accessibility story about instructional materials in higher education. Tell a story-good or bad-about an experience you had with accessible or inaccessible instructional materials in higher education. If you are not in college yet, tell us about your fears about inaccessible instructional materials in higher education based on what you've heard from all the college students ahead of you. If possible, make it so that your video background is a famous place on your college campus that alumni will recognize. Do this by either going there in person to record your video outside like a news reporter or by using a Zoom virtual background with an image of that part of your campus. Submit your video by posting it on Facebook and/or Twitter, using the hashtag #StudentAccessMoments so that all of our networks can find your video! When you post your video, try nominating three other blind students or recent graduates to tell their stories. Here are some guidelines for the competition: * Videos must be no longer than 60 seconds. * Submissions are due by January 7, 2021. * Video submissions may be used in video promotions to educate the public about the accessibility barriers faced by blind students in higher education. * The best videos will be in landscape mode, clean, professional, articulate, and carry a tone that supports a belief in the right of blind students to equal access in higher education. * We expect to have many great submissions, so, if yours is not chosen by the judges, please understand that it may still have been very good and may still be included in future public education efforts. The top 3 winners will receive gift card prizes! Thank you, everyone, for your authenticity! If you have any questions, please reach out! We can do this.

Specifically, RAINN will initially work with NFB to: * Create and conduct a mandatory training program regarding sexual violence and misconduct for staff, volunteers, and leadership with trainings to begin in March 2021. * Review and augment the NFB Code of Conduct to include the strongest possible policies aimed at preventing sexual misconduct and adopting best practices in this area. * Devise other ongoing trainings, relevant components, and resources as identified by RAINN and NFB. "Our partnership with RAINN is a critical component of the commitment that the Board of Directors has made to our community," said Mark Riccobono, President of the National Federation of the Blind. "We do not tolerate sexual violence and abuse. While this engagement is just the beginning of our ongoing and continual efforts to address this issue, we look forward to working with RAINN to ensure that everyone can participate in the critical work we do in the safest and most welcoming environment possible." #### ABOUT NFB--The National Federation of the Blind (NFB), headquartered in Baltimore, is the oldest and largest nationwide organization of blind Americans. Founded in 1940, the NFB consists of affiliates, chapters, and divisions in the fifty states, Washington DC, and Puerto Rico. The NFB defends the rights of blind people of all ages, and provides information and support to families with blind children, older Americans who are losing vision, and more. We believe in the hopes and dreams of blind people and work together to transform them into reality. Learn more about our many programs and initiatives at nfb.org [2]. ABOUT RAINN--RAINN [3], the nation's largest anti-sexual violence organization, created and operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline in partnership with more than 1,000 local sexual assault service providers across the country. RAINN also carries out programs to prevent sexual violence, educate the public, help organizations improve their sexual violence prevention and response programs, and ensure that perpetrators are brought to justice.

I did a search for one today without luck. I don’t need anything that can translate entire documents at this time. I need something to quickly translater a single word at a time translating English to Spanish and vise versa. I want something that is not on my phone because I’m often on the phone when I run into the issue of “What’s that word?” While doing my homework. I prefer something that’s accessible on a computer since that’s where I do my homework. So far, I have not run into anything that’s accessible or even something with decent work flow which in my appoinyon is an overlooked aspect of accessability. I don’t want an A device yet since I don’t have much use for one plus, I don’t want something that will require the internet the entire time I have it turned on. I mainly want something that allows me to translate single words or short sentences at a time in a simular efficiency that my sighted class mates already get with things like Google Translate or simular apps that are not fully accessability including work flow.

This initiative will significantly enhance educational opportunities and cultural inclusion for blind and low-vision individuals worldwide. "Blind people have all the same interests, concerns, and aspirations as all who participate in our society and culture, and that culture is reflected in the millions of images that this partnership will help us access," said Mark Riccobono, President of the National Federation of the Blind. "We look forward to working with Tactile Images and Getty Images to curate a collection that will include, inform, and inspire the blind of America and the world." Getty Images, the National Federation of the Blind, and Tactile Images are committed to participating in initiatives that provide greater accessibility to visual resources, with an emphasis on photography and fine art, that represent the world's people and cultures, including the blind and others with disabilities. This commitment involves helping people fully understand and experience the society within which they live, providing unique educational perspectives and increasing access to content that may have previously been inaccessible. This partnership reinforces a collective commitment to improving accessibility for and inclusion of people from all backgrounds, including those who are blind. "In a world where communication is largely visual, Getty Images is thrilled to partner with the National Federation of the Blind and Tactile Images to allow the blind community to more fully engage with and experience our pictures," said Peter Orlowsky, Head of Strategic Development at Getty Images. Tactile Images has several product offerings, all of which allow a blind individual to experience and engage with traditionally visual and graphic material through touch and sensory stimulation. Each is a unique, one-of-a-kind work of art. To further assist in creating a more interactive experience, braille is utilized for text, and sensors are embedded so that when touched, a customized audio description and narrative is activated. Components that emit unique smells can also be used. These three senses - touch, hearing, and smell - work together in the brain to replace the sense of sight. The blind or low-vision user creates a mental picture from this confluence of sensory stimulation. Touching a tactile print while listening to a coordinated audio presentation creates an enhanced kinesthetic learning experience. "At Tactile Images, we are very excited that Getty Images and the National Federation of the Blind have decided to partner with us. This partnership will help to bring tactile imagery to the blind on a global scale," says John Olson, Co-Founder of 3DPhotoWorks, the parent company of Tactile Images. "I've always believed that truly 'seeing' an image involves much more than just the sense of sight. As the notable American neuroscientist, Dr. Paul Bach-y-Rita, once stated, 'We don't see with our eyes or hear with our ears; these are just the receptors, seeing and hearing in fact, goes on in the brain.' We look forward to partnering with museums, science centers, libraries, and government agencies to make their existing content more accessible while also creating new and innovative installations and exhibitions." Tactile Images will also develop several traveling exhibitions in collaboration with Getty Images and the National Federation of the Blind. These exhibitions travel to museums, educational centers, and institutions throughout the world. They include a diverse array of engaging topics and narratives, increase community-based partnerships, and maximize an institution's space, attendance, and participation. Furthermore, they promote inclusion, critical skills acquisition, independence, and self-confidence. For more information, visit www.tactileimages.com [2].

These transformative experiences allow for an intimate connection with a wide range of visual and graphic material, especially photography and fine art. Images designed for touch provide the opportunity to acquire visual information independently, without relying on recorded descriptions or the interpretation of a sighted companion. Users can explore the depth and complexity of their favorite artworks and images, often for the first time. Tactile printing is an innovative process patented by 3DPhotoWorks, the parent company of Tactile Images, which converts any image into a three-dimensional tactile print that blind and disabled individuals assemble in their mind's eye through touch, sound, and smell. Customized audio narratives, as well as components that emit unique smells, enhance the experience. Tactile Images' partnership with Getty Images and the National Federation of the Blind reinforces their mission to deliver tactile images to every museum, science center, library, and government agency worldwide. www.tactileimages.com [2] ABOUT THE NATIONAL FEDERATION OF THE BLIND: The National Federation of the Blind (NFB), headquartered in Baltimore, is the oldest and largest nationwide organization of blind Americans.

When the meeting ends the recording will be converted to a folder in your zoom folder. Actually, it will ask where you want to save the folder but you should just go with the folder in your zoom folder with in your documents folder. I'm not sure what the diference is with the cloud, I've never heard of it or seen a option diferentating the process or where they are stored. Thanks and have a good weekend. Thanks.

Sometimes I need someone's help with this as it varies between companies. Sometimes all you need to do is press enter on whatever document it is; just reading it and pressing something like yes I've read it, counts as a signature. For contracts, with Docusign, you have to hand draw your signature either on screen or by using the mouse. If you've done this once and you have multiple documents with the same company, it saves your signature so that the next document you sign has your drawn signature already there. HTH, very best wishes, Sandra. On 1/10/21, Steve Cook via NABS-L wrote: > I am interested in this as well! > > Do you have a favorite recipe that people always ask you for?

This will be a virtual meeting at the above time and date, please see below for Zoom details. The purpose of this forum is to: Provide a safe and positive environment for students to openly discuss issues or challenges they have faced or are facing, either personally or in their academic setting; Provide suggestions or support to other students who may be experiencing issues; Share information on resources that might be helpful based on past experiences; Provide a social opportunity to meet other students from across the state and across the country There is no set agenda for this meeting, topics are dependent on student input. All students will be given the opportunity to speak if they wish, although time limits for each student’s issues may need to be enforced to ensure equal participation, depending on the number of attendees. We have up to two hours allotted for this meeting but may end earlier. Depending on the success of this forum, we may have this be a re-occurring event on a monthly or bi-monthly basis. Ground Rules: All students MUST adhere to the NFB code of conduct at the meeting. Failure to do so will result in immediate expulsion from the meeting and likelihood of not being permitted to attend in future Students are asked to provide positive support to other students only. Negativity or critical comments towards other students will not be tolerated. Please come prepared to share only what you are comfortable sharing, only share details that you are comfortable sharing with the group in attendance. A judgement-free, positive environment will be maintained. Only discuss your own personal situation. Discussing someone else’s situation is not allowed. Respect the confidentiality of this group. Topics discussed within the group associated to an identified individual will not be shared outside the group. Failure to adhere to this will result in exclusion from future meetings along with other possible action. We want this to be an opportunity for students to feel included, heard and supported in a safe environment. The moderators will do our best to ensure that this is the case, and additional measures may need to be taken to keep the meeting running smoothly and respectfully other than those listed above. Please note that the moderators are not professional support personnel or accredited in any sense. We are students, just like you, wanting to share what we know and willing to organize a positive and productive meeting where students can share with each other and make connections with other students or resources. Look forward to seeing you on Saturday the 16th!

Read the full press release [3] about this exciting partnership. As a fun way to kick off this initiative, please take this very short poll [4] that asks about celebrities, historic events, and famous landmarks that you might like to see represented as 3D tactile images.

Your input will be used to guide the creation of exhibitions featuring 3D tactile artworks that also incorporate audio description, and even unique smells, to help blind people create mental pictures of our world. Stay tuned in the coming months for more information about exhibitions that will be created to travel to museums around the globe so that blind people everywhere can experience culturally iconic images in a way we never have before!

Even after slowing it down, if I try to listen to the text line-by-line, I find that by the time I am done reading and have to speak, I am only able to retain 40-50% of what I have heard. So I end up losing some content. On the other hand, if I listen to JAWS one word at a time, I find that I end up being much too slow, such that my speech sounds disjointed and halting. Second, I am wondering how your experience differs between verbally reproducing new content [i.e. material you have never read before] versus content you are already familiar with. Put simply, would it pay to familiarize oneself with the content to be reproduced beforehand? Third and lastly, can you suggest some pointers for building up one's capacity, to be able to get better at doing this i.e. listening to JAWS and speaking out what it is reading at the same time?

You may need to increase your listening speed so you'll have enough words in your mental buffer. If you can't read word by word then reformat the text so that the lines are of an appropriate length. There was an NFB convention speech saved on the NFB website several years ago with someone who did something similar using a Victor Reader Stream. His delivery was quite good.

It's helpful for me if I split up what I'm trying to read (sometimes after copy-pasting to a word doc) and splitting things up phrase by phrase or sentence by sentence. I also find that being more familiar with the content absolutely pays because I already have a good idea of what it is I'm trying to say aloud, and JAWS just helps me fill in the key words in the correct order (i.e. it becomes much easier to predict what the next few words will be to expand the memory buffer). Aside from deliberate/strategic practice (e.g. experimenting with different ways of splitting, changing pacing/inflection to accommodate a potentially more laid back read aloud, etc.), I think it will get easier over time.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hey Martin, Hope your week's going well too! I unfortunately don't know of an accessible kit specifically for drones, but have you heard of the Arduino microcontroller? It's a pretty cheap and popular tool many folks use to work on electrical/mechanical engineering projects. With some code and sparely purchased sensors, motors, buzzers, etc., people have built robots to virtual assistants to auto-garden-waterers to quadcopters/drones and so much more. Josh Miele ran/may still run the Blind Arduino group here in San Francisco, and they've made a lot of their tutorials and resources for blind folks interested in working with Arduinos available at this blog: http://blarbl.blogspot.com/ Not exactly the same as a drone kit, but with some extra work around this could be a cool alternative!

Ideally you break them up where the listener would naturally expect a pause. The downside is it does take a little extra work to format the presentation, but the more you do it, the better you get at knowing where to split the sentence. Of course rehearsing helps, but when the sentences are broken up, you can do a pretty good job without having to practice much. I've been using this approach for years, including in front of audiences of hundreds, and have received many complements on my public speaking abilities. BTW, I also use this approach regularly with an iPhone and voiceover, which is handy when you don't want to drag a laptop up with you. Hope this helps.

Read on to find out how you can win a $50 Amazon gift card and be featured in a national press release. You can also visit this Google form link: https://forms.gle/dnTYwP5pf7H4n9Bd9 Getty Images, a world leader in visual communications, and the National Federation of the Blind, America's civil rights and membership organization of the blind, have partnered with Tactile Images to deliver more than 25 million images to the world's blind population at museums, science centers, libraries, schools, and government agencies. This initiative will significantly enhance educational opportunities and cultural inclusion for blind and low-vision individuals worldwide. Tactile Images recently sent out a survey to learn more about the people, places, and historical events that blind people would like to 'see' and experience via tactile prints. The response has been overwhelming, and we encourage you to fill it out if you haven't already at this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/tactileimages Here is where you come in! NABS was contacted because the team still wants to hear directly from blind students in the form of a video. Your involvement supports the partnership and its mission to use tactile imagery to increase accessibility for blind and disabled populations worldwide. As part of the formal press release which will be shared with media outlets worldwide, Tactile Images would like to include the top video responses that they receive in their formal press release. Those who are selected will also receive $50 Amazon gift cards. Guidelines: Create a video answering the following questions: 1. What do you want to 'see' first? Why? 2. What will access to photographs and art mean to you? - Videos can be sent directly to Brad LaMere at blamere at tactileimages.com or sent via a link through the following Google form: https://forms.gle/dnTYwP5pf7H4n9Bd9 To make sure Tactile Images has received your video, please send a separate email to blamere at tactileimages.com following your submission. - All responses should be received by 11:59 PM EST on Tuesday, January 19, 2021. Thank you for your participation and feedback!

NABS knows that navigating the pandemic has been challenging for many of us, creating challenges to academic, work, and social success, even making it difficult to maintain parts of our identity. That’s why we are so excited for our Midwest Student Seminar this year, “Marching Towards Your Authenticity.” Occurring on March 19th and 20th, the seminar will help give students the tools to embody their true self in all facets of life. The seminar will be jam-packed with interactive activities, guest speakers, and opportunities to grow while reaffirming elements of our authenticity. After all, we wouldn’t be a division full of diversity without the unparalleled unique qualities of our members. We hope you will “march” on over to the following link https://bit.ly/3aWzbZL to register for our weekend of fun and growth before the registration deadline of March 1st. We in no way, shape, or form want finances to deter student attendance. If the $25 registration fee stands in the way of your attendance or if you have additional questions about the registration process, please don’t hesitate to reach out to NABS First Vice President, Kenia Flores, at kflores at keniaflores.com With tomorrow being Martin Luther King Jr. Day I thought it would be fitting to remind everyone of some of his words, “The time is always right to do what is right.” With this in mind, go forth and keep being awesome NABS! The time is always right for the authentic voice of blind students to be heard. Sincerely, Logan Stenzel -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

We will be covering everything from math for blind elementary school students to advanced math and graphing with advanced students. For too long, many blind students have been told that blind people simply aren’t good at math or that it is extremely difficult to present mathematics to sighted peers and instructors, but we are here to show everyone how easy it really is. Many of you on this list are probably already familiar with this information, but if you feel that you could benefit from this webinar, please join the fun! The video will be on YouTube as well, as described below, so check it out there if you can’t make it today. Best, Campbell Webinar-Math using Word/Docs with Mathtype and LaTex--students completing perfect math like everyone else-- For all ages - Monday 18th-3PM EST Please pass the word on. We would like to show everyone how easy math can be using these programs. Blind students can complete math in Word or Docs (with a twist on this) just like their sighted peers and email right into the teacher. A braille display is truly needed and makes the difference. Yes, young students need hard copy with abacus but students can move to all math on computer with display when ready (which occurs in later elementary or by middle school or fairly quickly after they begin this process). Come join the fun. You do not need to sign up. Just use the link below and we will be on Youtube live at the same time.

As our membership may be familiar with, each year the National Association of Blind Students runs an auction that corresponds with the first night’s events of our Washington Seminar, In the nation’s capital, Federation members and guests leave the Great Gathering In with a sense of synergy, revitalized purpose, and ambition to take on our meetings with our elected officials throughout the week and advocate for the issues that are most important to blind people. The evening of the Great Gathering In, however, is also reserved for our annual social event that is complete with an auction fundraiser. With the pandemic changing the landscape of Washington Seminar, we are here to provide you the opportunity to still bid on items that our generous donors offered for NABS’ first-ever online auction experience! > > NABS is using the 32 Auctions platform to conduct this auction. The bidding period began at midnight this morning. Bidding is open to the public and you can join by simply creating an account and placing bids on the items you believe are tempting. A reminder to all Federation students and staff that this auction will run until 11:59pm EST on February 10, 2021. It is only then that bidding will cease and the winner will be prompted to purchase the items they won via the platform, which is linked to PayPal. Please, if interested, place a bid and monitor them with sustained interest because this link is public and you will be competing for any of these items fiercely. Finally, please share this link with your friends, family, coworkers, and more because there is something for everyone in our collection. Whether it is the tantalizing libations in the date night collection or the access technology essentials in the portable technology pack, NABS has you covered. All proceeds go to supporting blind students in leadership development and other related programming.

Are they from your college? When I had a semester of math, my disability services asked me to bring the textbooks back to them, and they would send them off (this was still when things were in-person). Are your textbooks all related to classes you are taking, or are they just being sent to you?

I had a meeting with them about this issue and they said they would work on making their materials more accessible. I’m not sure if there has been any progress since then but I surely hope so. my suggestion is to contact the company to see if they would let you test out The materials online for free to make sure it is accessible before having to pay for it. If they’re not willing to do that, ask them if they’re willing to give you a full refund if the materials end up not being accessible. Hope that they are willing to work with you.

Both the Surveys and the Discussion Board Posts have edit fields where I can type, but Jaws is not letting me stay in the box. When I'm getting ready to type in the answer, I hit the backspace key to make sure that I'm in the edit field. Instad, it reads a letter B for the Bold button. I have also tryed to hit the tab key, the escape, or the letter E, thinking that would help me stay on the edit box, but that doesn't work. This happens both in the Discussion Board Post and in surveys. So far, what's worked best is to attach word documents of my responses. I know that students prefer reading the posts directly instead of opening separate documents. What is a way to fix this? What commands can I use to get away from so many formatting options?

Just a hypothetical scenario, of course. My school is a fan of When2Meet and Doodle polls, but I have found both thoroughly inaccessible. Google forms is an option, but things like When2Meet provide times already so you don't have to write down all the options etc. Anyone got any fantastic insights into this? Is there an accessibility feature for When2Meet? Thanks. Best, Cricket -- Cricket X.

I have recently begun my university career, and would like to inquire of you a few things. First off, has anyone ever heard of, or used a platform called ALEKS? I believe it was developed by McGraw Hill Education. This platform is the one that we are using in the current math class I’m taking, but I seem to be struggling to use it. If anyone has used it, is it compatible with NVDA, (in my personal experience, it seems not), but maybe there’s a few things I need to do on my end? Secondly, are there any keyboard commands to input equations? Your time is very much appreciated! Stay happy, stay safe!

I have bad news, this platform is not accessible enough for you to get through the class without assistance. What your university needs to do is pay a sighted person to read and click the mouse for you. This is not ideal, and by law they should not be using these in accessible platforms, but if you want to get through your coursework it may be the best option. I am sorry, I have had my struggles with this software, and I know how frustrating and time-consuming it will be for you to do this with a reader. Good luck.

We actually just now had to upgrade to JFW2021 for the same reason you describe. My best idea (at least for now) is to try using different browsers or even doing replies on mac or iPhone. The mobile BB app has worked wonders, as I really don’t want to have each instructor send messages to the class whenever I find something I want to reply to. They did offer that they can copy/paste my responses though. Let me know if you want further explanation or anything. Please tell the family hello.

I have NO problems with the discussion boards via that route. I don't have any ideas on surveys as I haven't encountered any of that for my class right now. Don't use Google Chrome, that's where the trouble I ran with going into forms mode in the discussion board. Firefox seems to work the best -- knock on wood! Since I currently only doing an English course, all my responses (as per my schools' recommendation) are done in Word first then I copy/paste it. Again, try to download Firefox and see if that works better. I have three different browsers installed on my laptop just in case of those times I encounter a web site I can't get to read right, I'll try a different browser to see how JAWS behaves in there.... Discussion board layout is kinda weird, and it isn't a JAWS issue, it is a blackboard layout issue and is out of our control. Even my instructor has us in groups and each person's response is under the group name, and the responses, there is NO way you can collapse to skip to the next set of text... it is a bit of a convoluted system/format. Hope that tip helps!

These books were donated. At the time, they were offered and I took the persofn up on the offer because I was on the science path which required me to go into Calculus. I have since changed my degree so they are no longer needed. This was before the Covid pandemic so it was before it was all vertual. However, I wanted to get ahead but, I wound up changing my path to English after I had discovered that I was not able to keep up with math.

We had a couple more committee calls, so keep an eye out for a February telegram fundraiser, some exciting outreach projects, and more. And we’re even designing a new logo! I promise it will be unbearably incredible. Feeling stressed after a difficult start to 2021? We’re here to guide you in the right direction, because everyone needs some pawsitivity in their lives. Are you a dog person? Are you an aspiring dog person? Join us to wolf down some knowledge from guide dog users. This panel will be moderated by yours truly, so if you’ve got questions, feel free to email them to me ahead of time. Wondering who our speakers are? Well, you’ll have to wait just a little longer. Join us to hear from someone who went to The Seeing Eye, someone from Guiding Eyes, and another from Guide dogs for the Blind. If you’re a speaker, hold your horses until Saturday. And your dogs too.

I have a lot of professors this semester who don’t know how to put alt text on the images on their quizzes/exams. Does anyone know how to do this so I can communicate that with them? If not, does anyone know who I can refer them to so they can learn how to do this? Also, let me know if I’m crazy or not. This is a reasonable accommodation to ask for, right?

Learn more about the symposium. What’s on the Agenda * impacts and outcomes of marginalization and intersectionality on mental and physical health, * race and gender issues in the civil commitment process, * accessibility laws and how they apply to health plans, * perspectives on disability in the US Muslim communities, * the ADA in social and human service settings, * digital accessibility and the development of guidelines for attorneys on both sides, * voting rights for people with disabilities under the ADA, * connecting disability work with broader diversity and inclusion work, * and more!

Before March 1, 2021, we invite you to submit a 60-second video clip telling a personal accessibility story about instructional materials in higher education. Tell a story-good or bad-about an experience you had with accessible or inaccessible instructional materials in higher education. Everyone has a story, but most of us do not realize that our story can teach others about the issue. If you are not in college yet, tell us about your fears about inaccessible instructional materials in higher education based on what you've heard from all the college students ahead of you. If possible, make it so that your video background is a famous place on your college campus that alumni will recognize. Do this by either going there in person to record your video outside like a news reporter or by using a Zoom virtual background with an image of that part of your campus. Submit your video by posting it on Facebook and/or Twitter, using the hashtag #StudentAccessMoments so that all of our networks can find your video! When you post your video, try nominating three other blind students or recent graduates to tell their stories. Here are some guidelines for the competition: * Videos must be no longer than 60 seconds. * Submissions are due by March 1, 2021. * Video submissions may be used in video promotions to educate the public about the accessibility barriers faced by blind students in higher education. * The best videos will be in landscape mode, clean, professional, articulate, and carry a tone that supports a belief in the right of blind students to equal access in higher education. * We expect to have many great submissions, so, if yours is not chosen by the judges, please understand that it may still have been very good and may still be included in future public education efforts. The top 3 winners will receive gift card prizes! Thank you, everyone, for your authenticity! If you have any questions, please reach out! We can do this.

Also what kind of people are most likely to stay stuck on stage 2? Is it people heavily involved in the NFB and people with very good blindness skills because they don’t know their limits and don’t know when to just ask for help since they think they can just figured it out. It’s kind of a gray area though.

I loaded Open Book 9.0 onto it successfully and then plugged in my Pearl camera into it. When I went to scan a book with it and hit the spacebar to take the picture, it acted like it was trying to take a photo but never did. I double checked to make sure it was plugged in all the way. It was. I then checked the device menu of Open Book and the Pearl popped up; Open Book recognized it. Has anyone encountered this problem? On my Windows 8 laptop, I have no problem. I've e-mailed tech support and have yet to hear back from them. Thanks.

I would recommend unplugging the Pearl from the computer, plugging it back in, and trying to scan the book again. If that doesn't work, I would recommend closing OpenBook with Alt F4, opening the program back up again, and then trying to scan the book. I hope this helps.

NABS wants to make sure that you can be your best self throughout 2021 and beyond. That’s why we are so excited for our Midwest Student Seminar this year, “Marching Towards Your Authenticity.” Occurring on March 19th and 20th, the seminar will help give students the tools to embody their true self in all facets of life. The seminar will be jam-packed with interactive activities, guest speakers, and opportunities to grow while reaffirming elements of our authenticity. As a student division, we are only as good as the students in our movement. We are lucky to have such a great membership and want to ensure that every one of our members is in touch with the authenticity that makes NABS such a powerful conduit for student voices. You have one more month to “march” on over to the following link https://bit.ly/3aWzbZL to register for our weekend of fun and growth before the registration deadline of March 1st. Register early to make sure you join our march towards a harmony of authentic student voices. If you know anyone else who may be interested please spread the word! Attached to this email is a flyer you can share with people. NABS in no way, shape, or form want finances to deter student attendance. If the $25 registration fee stands in the way of your attendance or if you have additional questions about the registration process, please don’t hesitate to reach out to NABS First Vice President, Kenia Flores, at kflores at keniaflores.com Tomorrow is the first day of Black History Month, so in the words of Mae C. Jemison, the first female African American astronaut, “Never be limited by other people’s limited imaginations. If you adopt their attitudes, then the possibility won’t exist because you’ll have already shut it out.” Sincerely, Logan Stenzel -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
