Here is all the accessible part--I sent this to my students this week and
they are doing it with great success

This is a group email to all new coders using Jaws:
To do the hour of code, you will go to:
http://quorumlanguage.com/documents/hourofcode/part1.php
of which many of you know already. However, you must use IE and not
firefox--this is a microsoft product so they made it very accessible. Go to
your edit fields to sign up then sign in--this is in your insert f5 field
also, so you can do e or insert f5,
If you want to explore the page, ctrl home then down arrow through the
whole page so you understand all this will entail
To do the code:
The first thing you will do is insert f5 and go to "play button"(also b for
button--but lots of buttons on page so faster with insert f5)....Mary, in
the video, will give you directions on what you need to do. While you are
listening, you need to get to your "code area edit" field(in your insert
F5) where you are running the code she will tell you to write, then tab to
run button (also in insert f5)

When you are done with part 1, insert f7 and go to the next
section...continue to do this until you are done
Just in case you want to try it
