[nobe-l] Solutions to computer problems

[Dr. Denise M Robinson]

Welcome to a great new year of school:



Here are the most asked for “How do I do this” questions



We all know that we all need a plethora of tools in our toolbox of
learning. This is especially true for our blind students. For students who
are completely independent in their classroom and able to access everything
the teacher gives them are using exactly what the rest of the world is
using: Here is their top preferences to lower preferences: PC with talking
software and braille display because the PC can do everything with the
right software on it; they prefer the smaller display like the APH
refreshabraille or BraillePen, because it also goes with iOS devices; next
is smartphone, braille note then ipad—don’t need ipad if using the iphone
especially for completely blind and the iphone does more, then other tools



So here is the plethora of videos for the “LET’S GET GOING”



All things google has been accessible with NVDA for some time. Now Jaws16
has done some major updates to make all things google drive, docs, sheets,
slides, etc are accessible now too; so no more switching off one software
program to use another. However, I always suggest having both because when
one decides to die on you for whatever reason, you have a backup without
having to restart your computer.

Here is a student learning the steps: Google Docs with Jaws
