[NOBE-L] Using Zoom with a Screen Reader Free youtube tutorial

[Marianne Haas]

This is disgusting of the School District.  They expose people to the Corona Virus.  Instead, they should give students computers instead of hiring program specialists.  At least, in CA, many program specialists are just a barrier between the districts and the parents.  Districts are afraid to get sued by parents, unhappy of what their kids are not getting.  Also, Administrators are getting too big salaries.

Hello Mary ann,

Thanks for your question. While most of the learning tools (Canvas, Zoom, Teams, Office365, ETC) are fully accessible with JAWS, many Blind children and youth do not have computers at or the Internet yet. My school district where I work at specifically decided not to provide online / virtual learning opportunities at this point, for that very reason, as it creates equity issues.

This is a great tool.  I have a question: as kids are supposed to learn from home, using computers:
1. do all the kids have computers at home?
2. how accessible are the learning platforms to jaws?
