[nobe-l] lesson plan presentation

[Elizabeth Anderson]

Well, Arthur, what I've been doing up to this point is bringing my own
laptop and Braille display and hooking them up to the projector...Powerpoint
isn't required, just a document in Word is sufficient.  As a result, I've
been able to do the entire presentation on my own, except for loading a
video once, since it didn't work the way I thought it would.  Oh, and making
sure that all the material was displayed on the projector.
This is what I'm worried about:  I have been watching students moving during
their presentations, and because of the way I ned to set things up and the
fact that I need to operate things myself, I can't do that.  Should O be
concerned about that for such a very short presentation?  Ugh!  It would be
much easier if I could explain to someone over the phoneor something.  Oh,
well.

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.
 
Arthur
