Subject: updated technology seminar page on our fabulous website

Hello All
I am announcing that our technology seminar page has been updated to include
all seminars and how to listen via links or telephone.
Please peruse this page below or go to
www.nfbnj.org
Technology Seminars
Starting in March 2017, the New Jersey Association of Blind Technology Users
(NJABTU) proudly sponsors quarterly conference calls on a variety of topics
with moderators presiding over each call. We hope these calls provide
information and thoughtful discussions in your local chapter meetings
throughout the year.

To attend the calls, dial 515-604-9570, then use access code 612068 pound.
You will hear the code you entered repeated. Press 1 if it is correct. Press
2 to re-enter it. If you press 1, you then announce yourself by stating your
name and you will then be entered into the conference call.

In order to obtain the best possible sound for these calls, the host will
put all callers into mute mode until the Q and A portion of the call. You
will be able to hear everything during the call but background noise from
your location will not disturb others listening in on the conversation.
During the Q and A portion of the call, you can unmute yourself by pressing
star 6. Before giving a comment or asking a question, please announce your
name and what state you are from, and then wait for the moderator to
recognize you before speaking. We can have too many people trying to seek
the floor at one time and chaos can occur. The moderators will do their very
best to recognize as many callers as possible however, they will determine
the order in which speakers proceed. When finished with your comments or
questions, press star 6 again to go back into “mute” mode to facilitate
better, uncluttered communication for everyone. Star 6 also works when you
have your phone on speaker.

The times for the calls are

·         8:00pm Eastern

·         7:00pm Central

·         6:00pm Mountain

·         5:00pm Pacific

Please determine for yourself the time to enter the call if you live in a
time zone other than those listed above.

Because our conference calls contain information that’s helpful and
interesting to blind techies, we archive all of them within hours of their
completion. You can listen to our most recent archives by calling
515-604-9651, and entering the access code 612068 pound followed by the call
reference code. Currently we only have six archived calls. While listening,
4 will rewind one minute, 6 will forward one minute, and 5 will pause the
recording which is a toggle. We hope you enjoy and learn from them.
