[nobe-l] lesson plan presentation

Hello Elizabeth,
 
I think we need more information about the setup of the room.  Or at  least 
I do.  You mentioned your files need to be on a flash drive, does  this 
mean you are expected to use PowerPoint?  Does the classroom have a  
PC/projector already setup and ready for use?  I am going to assume the  answers are 
yes and base my suggestions accordingly.  First, since most  college campuses 
with tech in the room have that tech locked down, both  physically and 
software-wise, it is appropriate for you to ask the professor, or  a classmate, 
to load the file for you.  If you need to switch slides, that  can easily be 
done by you.  Another option is to bring a flash drive that  is loaded with 
a screen reader like NVDA, which is able to be plugged in and  used 
immediately.  With this option, you should be able to load your own  files.  As far 
as ensuring visibility, I would suggest asking a friend or  the professor 
to meet you in the room a little early, or stay a little after, so  that they 
can help you figure out where best to stand.  Also, if you are  worried 
about whether others can see your info, asking them as you are giving  the 
presentation would be appropriate.  You could also simply say at the  start that 
they can feel free to let you know if they can't see something.   Hope this 
helps.
