Track Changes with Comments--audio/visual lesson

Whether blind or sighted, learn how to make comments and tracks for editing in Word. Learn the keyboard commands that will quickly and easily move you through a page. In addition, learn how to do revisions and check for spelling and grammar errors throughout the page. This is how my teachers correct my blind student's work, so they can independently see what their grade is along with any comment about their work the teacher has for them. 

Emailing back and forth gives the teacher the work on time and then student grades as fast as their sighted peers. This is an audio/visual lesson--download a copy today

Virtual lesson-teaching blind student how to use track changes in Word-how teachers correct

In 9th grade, this student was only using a brailler to braille out all work....a very slow process to get it transcribed, then to the teacher, then back to the student. In 2 months the student has moved to completing all work on a computer, emailing to teacher, teacher corrects and sends back.

Virtual Instruction through Skype Sharing and texting

I teach virtually to students around the country daily and around the world weekly. I may start in India, then head to New York, then Ohio, Washington State, back to Kansas and so on throughout a day. Skype texting or Gmail text/chat is always part of the first contact, then sharing of desktop or/and typically using Jaws Tandem to connect and bring up the students computer...Virtually, I go around the world in a day, teaching anyone who is blind and has a desire to reach their goals and dreams...or just someone who wants to become a better computer user.
