You use narrator, which is on all PC computers---that is a main lesson for my older students to learn so they can set up their own computers by themselves.

Denise,

>no, i was asking about how you do a session like
tandem when the student is having problems and jaws won't function properly and
the instructor can't "cheat" and use remaining vision to talk the student
through fixing the problem.

>>No, it does not require vision. My blind students do this with me. I just give them verbal directions and they follow them. Once you learn the keyboard, you can operate many aspects of the computer with no voice. My blind students can sit at any computer and open Word, write material, print it off or send an email all based on keystrokes and just knowing the keyboard. I do this myself all the time, hitting keystrokes to do what I want without any vision on the task.

>>>>When one of my students is having difficulties with their Jaws or needs help installing it, I need to connect to their computer a different way than through Jaws TANDEM. There are many ways to do remote access, but I chose to connect yesterday through SKYPE. For those new to the idea, remote access is where someone can help you resolve computer problems, no matter where you or they are in the world. You just need a phone line, but better is a wireless connection...anything works though.

>>>>The student called and
then I gave her directions on the key commands so I could call up her computer.

>>>>Within minutes her Jaws was fixed. I then gave her the
JAWS commands to pull up her computer using JAWS TANDEM and continued her lesson.
>>>>
>>>>When you
connect remotely using anything else other than JAWS TANDEM, you will not be able to hear JAWS unless the person turns him way up, which I have done also depending on the issue, but you miss too much information. To truly check to make sure JAWS is working correctly you must pull the students' computer up using TANDEM. I had her and SKYPE on one of my monitors, still connected remotely and then pulled her computer up using TANDEM on the other monitor. I could easily watch the interaction on both screens, tweaking as I needed. Well actually having her tweak. In general, I will not touch my keyboard to control their machine, as this is a great chance for the student to learn how to fix their own problems.
>>>>
>>>>The point is giving them applicable
skills that will work for a lifetime, so when they are on their own, they
can fix their own issues as they come up. My older students who have long
since graduated, can just email me now with a problem and I can give them
the answer back through email. Rarely do I have to pull their machines
up.
