<div class="yiv443116142post-header"></div>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 rel="nofollow" target="_blank" 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 rel="nofollow" target="_blank" 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 rel="nofollow" target="_blank" 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 rel="nofollow" target="_blank" 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 rel="nofollow" target="_blank" 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 rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.yourtechvision.com/products/jawsinternet">TANDEM</a>. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" 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 rel="nofollow" target="_blank" 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!
