<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Robert,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am in your same boat. Even before working remotely, I usually let the student “drive” instead of trying to run VoiceOver and doing the install myself. I usually have the student use the Edit menu copy and paste for copying Read & Write.
Many students are not real dextrose at the drag and drop and the Read & Write does not always end up where intended anyway, especially with those computers with the new computer smell (The student just got the machine last week).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By the way a couple of my staff members also went through the Read & Write toolbar and created visual descriptions of the controls. For example “play” is a blue arrow pointing right. The staff member who developed the descriptions has
graduated, but I find them really helpful when doing the training. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am blind and use screen readers. Those of you who are blind also know how complicated it can be to describe to sighted people how to perform certain tasks, since we don't always know what icons look like--or at least I certainly don't.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been unsuccessful at describing to students how to install apps on their Mac - particularly, Read and Write. When I open the disk image file, I arrow over to the .app file, perform a command C, then go to the Applications folder
and perform a command V to paste it.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">For sighted people, they would drag the app file from the disk image package to the applications folder. It even says, in the Read and Write DMG, "Drag our beautiful icon to the applications folder." I have had multiple students, however,
fail at doing this and instead make an alias in the applications folder. Of course I can't see what they're doing to correct them.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the old times, when we were allowed to meet in person with students, I would just take the computer and complete the install myself. Now, however, I need to figure out how to explain this.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Anyone have any tips?<o:p></o:p></p>
