Student Success!
I wanted to share a positive story with you all in the midst of all the difficulty our world is facing. One of my students won a computer (sic) at White Cane Day this year, and we have really been putting it to good use during our school district’s shift to online education. She has remarked several times how much it means to have a laptop of her own, rather than just the laptop from her school (which has a lot of restrictions as a school computer). She is completely blind and still learning to use JAWS, and this weekend she wrote me an email from her CftB laptop instead of her iPad (her usual device). She was so excited to be able to send email using JAWS and her own laptop, and she said how much she loves learning new things on her laptop. We have been using JAWS tandem, which allows me access to her computer since we are working together remotely. She still has a lot to learn about JAWS, but we are on our way!
