Help with NVDA and Google Classroom

Iván

Thanks for this. I started working with the suite this past week and
found it easier than I had anticipated. Several years ago, I was at a
AER conference and sitting with a very talented fellow blind user
while she worked to check its screen reader accessibility. As she
said, with three different screen readers used at different time, she
could get about and do what she needed. That scared me enough to avoid
it. Just goes to show that diving in to dark water is not always as
dangerous as you think. Guessing too that Google and readers have
shown some improvement.

Best,

Rick

Hello.

I’ve used Google classroom as  student for around two years without
problems. The web interface is mostly accesible, although you need to
turn on the focus mode in certain dialogs to access some sections or
to enhance the experience. Same for the iOS app: it is in certain
things less accessible/usable/complete than the web interface, but can
be used with VoiceOver without special difficulties.

Note that classroom have certain of its aspects, specially those that
involve file sharing,  integrated with GoogleDrive, so probably the
user will need also GDrive knowledge.

regards.

Morning All,

I have a middle school student who’s school uses Google Classroom for
all email and sharing of information. So, time for me to gain skills.
Does anyone know of a good tutorial for doing this that does not
involve changing to Google’s screen reader. If not I would love any
suggestions from folks who use elements of Google’s suite of programs.

Thanks for any help,

Rick
