Greetings,
It was great to connect with everyone yesterday in the Tech Lounge!
As promised, below is a copy of information I sent our staff on the Overview of the Windows 11 Environment with a Screen Reader YouTube Playlist, including a link to the playlist itself.
I hope you all find it useful. I welcome any feedback you may have.
Thanks,

Topics covered include but are not limited to:
* Orientation to the Windows Desktop.
* Use of common Windows commands to accomplish tasks such as navigating between open programs, closing programs, or bringing focus back to the Windows Desktop.
* Navigating and using the Windows Taskbar, including pinning and unpinning applications.
* Using Quick Settings to connect to wireless networks and Bluetooth devices.
* Using Windows commands to adjust volume and choose input and output devices.
* Navigating File Explorer and organizing files and folders.
All commands and processes introduced in this series are completely Windows based, so the user can utilize the screen reader of their choice, or no screen reader at all.
Teachers may benefit from using this playlist as a companion to assistive technology instruction.
New content will be added over the course of the school year.
