[nfbcs] Accessible Hour of Code

[Larry Wayland]

I am very interested in the Quorum language. After looking over the page,
and listening to the first lesson I tried to download the editor and
compiler.  The download seemed to go well until the end when I was told
"this program could be dangerous and could damage your computer", Or
something close to that. It would not give me a chance to bypass this and go
ahead and install the program. It only gave me two choices. Delete or
cancel. It did the same thing when I tried to save the download. Does anyone
have any suggestions?
Thanks for any help.
Larry

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 Denise
