Workshop Description:
Join us for this virtual workshop hosted by Student Accessibility Services and presented by March of Dimes, Tech for Good. This workshop is for students to learn about computer accessibility features and the practical ways you can use the built-in features on Windows and Mac Operating Systems (OS). This workshop will explore ways to support you with reading (e.g. text-to-speech/screen reading), writing (e.g. speech-to-text/dictation) and focus (e.g. reduce distractions on your computer) and learning more about the Tech for Good program and how you can connect for support using your own computer.
The first hour (1-2pm) will focus on Windows OS and the second hour (2-3pm) will focus on Mac OS.
