[Chancey Fleet]

Transitioning to JAWS - a Twelve-Week Workshop

Tuesdays September 7 through November 23, 6:00 - 7:30 PM Eastern

JAWS is a paid screen reader widely used in educational, corporate and
governmental environments, and it's installed on every PC in the New York
Public Library system. Perhaps you already have JAWS but need to brush up
your skills, or maybe you're considering whether to purchase the program.
If you know how to type, understand Windows basics, can commit to attending
twelve sessions, and would like to become more confident and proficient
with the JAWS screen reader, this workshop is for you! Please plan to join
us each week for a hands-on lesson and discussion. This workshop also
includes a group mailing list where you can post your questions and
discoveries for other members of your cohort to read and respond. We’ll
cover the basics of customizing JAWS settings, getting around in Windows
10, working with text, managing files and folders and exploring the web.

This workshop will be limited to 25 participants, so please apply to
participate soon!
