[nfbcs] online tech instructor

Yes, but can a blind student (completely blind) perform a drag and drop successfully all the time in Windows with JAWS or NVDA? After all, sighted students perform drag and drop 100% of the time in Windows with success.

That is unfortunate because everything in excel and how to do math in excel is required in school of all students. The schools that allow pencil and paper--and it is not many, the sighted students can get away with drawing their graphs out, but that is not an option for the blind so they use excel--that is if they want to do exactly the same work as their peers totally by themselves--which after all is the goal. If they can't do it all by themselves, and they don't learn how then why would someone hire them if they say "oh, by the way, I have to have sighted help to do---fill in the blank here. Not only that, excel helps the blind learn math to the highest degree enabling them to go as far as they want in knowledge. Excel is incredibly powerful

Drag and drop helps students understand the power of what each cursor does.
This type of routing enables them to go into webpages and access what others call "inaccessible"

If you go to my youtube channel, you will actually be able to watch kids doing all the things people say "blind can't do"--that is a fallacy. The blind can do anything the sighted can in school with the right technology instruction which enables them to work independently and go onto those dream jobs they want.
