[nobe-l] internet instructional ideas

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi,
I'd really like a text or tutorial to go off.
Does anyone use the windows 7 book with or without diagrams from NBP?
If so, how do you like it? Is it clear and concise? Does it even address the 
internet?

Thanks.

Thank you very much, Ashley. I want to teach people how to use assistive
technology on line. I would like to teach JAWS, NVDA, and Narrator for
Windows PC's, and Teach the iPhone and different Android phones. I
participate on many tech lists, and I help many people free over the phone
and by using Skype. The biggest question I have is how would people pay me
for my services if they are all around the world? I am doing the same thing
with Skype, and JAWS tandem. NVDA also has a remote add-on that lets you do
the same thing with NVDA as the JAWS tandem. If I were to do this as a
business, I am not sure how to receive payments from those around the world.
If you have any ideas, please let me know. I have a lot of tutoring
materials if you need some. Just let me know.
Take care,
David Moore

David,

What is your current job, if any? I thought you taught high school.
Sometimes, I copy and paste things from the internet because the whole text
is too much. I just pick out the basic terms and explanations.

Here are some sources so far.
For explanations of internet terms I see:
http://mason.gmu.edu/~montecin/netterms.htm

http://www.comentum.com/internet-terms.html
See the heading level 1 for that last website.

For sites to practice reading and navigation:

http://www.duxburysystems.com/braille.asp

http://www.valleybraille.com/braille.html

http://www.worldbraillefoundation.com/aboutbraille.htm

http://www.kidcyber.com.au/louis-braille/
I hope you all have ideas. Given the lack of computer textbooks for screen
reader users and curriculums, I'm  sure this is a common question. Its like
we have to invent the wheel and start from scratch planning.

Ashley

Hi Ashley and Kelsey!
I would like to do this exact same job. I have had all of these questions.
If you have more ideas, please share them. Thanks a lot for your comments so

Hi Ashley,
I also considering tutoring assistive technology.  These are
great questions.  I think your idea of assigning a website and
having your student find a certain article is a solid one, but
another thing you might try is have your student find an article
about something they are interested in and write a summary about
it.  This would also give the student practice in using Word.
Regarding teaching materials, it's not exactly a textbook, but
Freedom Scientific has something called Surf's Up.  It's an
interactive guide that explains the concepts in a logical order
and the practice exercises use sample web pages.  I don't have
the exact web address, but if you go to Freedom Scientific's
webpage, I think it's under training.  Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Kelsey Nicolay
