JAWS Tandem-new feature 
Today I figured out a new feature in JAWS Tandem. JAWS Tandem is where I connect to people far away and can teach them a lesson virtually on 
their computer--I had guessed I could do this special trick, but did not have a chance to try it until today. 

As one student was working on her Nemeth, reading from her book and 
inputting answers on her computer, we ran long on our time and she 
needed to go. She did not have time to email it off to herself to 
complete from home. She was working on a computer at school as her 
laptop had gone down the day before. So here comes the magic, I copied 
her work and pasted it to my computer, saved it and emailed it to her, 
so when she gets home, she can open her email, download her homework and
 continue working on it.

With another student, somehow she managed to have many font sizes on her
 math work that she was working on during the day. It looked very odd, 
so I tried this feature again, by copying it  off her computer and 
pasting it to my WORD on my computer. I have 2 monitors, so literally I 
can work off one while still be connected on the other. I figured out 
the problems on the page, then copied it off my computer and placed it 
back on hers all within 30 seconds. When I pasted it back, I then showed
 her what she had done to make it look so odd. The "ah ha" moment came 
and now she knows what NOT to do next time.

I still have that incredibly happy glow....as I just finished the last 
lesson of the day and just had to share the wonderful magic with all of 
you.
