Fri Apr 17 14:59:37 UTC 2020

Here are today's Zoom events from the NFB of Pennsylvania for your enjoyment
and edification:

JAWS Training with Joe - Friday April 17,  from noon to 12:45PM EDT.

Please join us as we explore the capabilities and usability of the
industry-leading JAWS screen reading application. We will show you the best
practices, tips, and tricks for using JAWS to operate a computer from the
beginner to the advanced level. The training will be focused on Windows 10
and the Office 365 productivity suite, but other applications and web sites
will also be discussed as appropriate or upon request. Bring your questions,
too, and we will do our best to answer them. The trainer, Joseph Drenth, is
certified for JAWS by Vispero, maker of the JAWS screen reader application. 

Fitness and Wellness Warriors with Lily and Caitlin - Friday, April 17, from
1PM to 2PM EDT. 

Due to all of us being stuck at home during this difficult time, it is
important to boost our immune system and make sure that we are still getting
some exercise. During this fitness and wellness session we will be talking
about ways of how to boost the immune system, and about how to take care of
our mental and emotional health. We will be doing brief workouts,
meditations, and yoga over Zoom.  I have learned a lot of these techniques
during my college years of taking integrative health care courses. 

Kids' Story Hour  with Harriet - Friday, April 17, from 3PM to 4PM EDT. 

Keep your braille skills sharp by reading along with Harriet as she reads
favorite stories for kids in braille. If you want to take your turn reading
in braille to the group, you can do that, too. Otherwise, follow along in
your own book or on your braille display.

Using Smart Home Technology to make Your Home More Accessible with Rod -
Friday, April 17, From 5 pm to 6 pm EDT.

This will be the first of a series on making your home more accessible
through the use of smart home technology. 

Braille Displays with Chris - Friday, April 17, From 7 pm to 8 pm EDT.

Have you ever wondered if a Braille display is right for you? Bring your
