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 <a href="http://www.yourtechvision.com/products/jawsinternet">Jaws TANDEM</a>. There are many ways to do remote access, but I chose to connect yesterday through <a href="http://www.yourtechvision.com/products/jawsinternet">SKYPE</a>.
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.<br>
<br>
The student called and then I gave her directions on the <a href="http://www.yourtechvision.com/products/jawsinternet">key commands</a> so I could call up her computer.<br>
<br>
Within minutes her Jaws was fixed. I then gave her the JAWS commands to pull up her computer using <a href="http://www.yourtechvision.com/products/jawsinternet">JAWS TANDEM</a> and continued her lesson.<br>
<br>
When you connect remotely using anything else other than <a href="http://www.yourtechvision.com/products/jawsinternet">JAWS TANDEM</a>,
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 <a href="http://www.yourtechvision.com/products/jawsinternet">TANDEM</a>. <a href="http://www.yourtechvision.com/products/jawsinternet">I had her and SKYPE </a>on one of my monitors, still connected remotely and then pulled her <a href="http://www.yourtechvision.com/products/jawsinternet">computer up using TANDEM</a>
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. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Give someone a fish and they eat for a day.<br>
Teach them how to fish and they eat for a lifetime!
