So now we're going
to demonstrate JAWS
with ELA for a Braille student.
So Veronica here
is my lovely Braille student
that I'm going to be
administrating this test to.
So I am on the sheet called
Logging on to the Practice Test.
Now, there are three options
in which you can use
the practice test.
The first one is practice test
using a TA login and SSID.
So if you have your student
and they already have an SSID,
you can actually log in
with their...
with your information
and their information.
The second option
is the practice test
using the TA login
and guest user.
So this requires a TA computer
and a student computer.
It allows the TA
to emboss the questions
just like the first option does.
And the third option
is if you...
if your student just...
is very ambitious
and wants to practice
on his or her own,
they can...you do
the training test
and that only requires
a student computer
but they can't emboss.
So, because Veronica
is not a real student,
we are going to go
with the guest user option,
the second option.
So this will be Practice Test
using the TA Login
and Guest User.
Okay.
So on the TA side,
I am going to open a browser.
In this case, I'm going
to be using Internet Explorer.
You can use Firefox or Chrome.
Just a note, that whenever
you download something,
where it shows up might be
a little bit different
depending on the browser.
So I'm going to go to
www.caaspp.org
and
I'm going to select practice
and training test.
Okay. So it takes us here
and we're going to
go on the left side
and click test administrator
and test examiner practice
and training site and it's
going to open a new tab.
Here is where you log in
with your credentials
and type in your password
and click Secure Login.
So if this is the first time
that you are logging in here
you may get a pop-up alert
and you may need
to allow pop-ups for
and the location
of that will depend...
depending on the browser
that you're using,
it may pop-up on
the top right-hand corner.
You might need
to allow pop-ups.
Previously, we have
a lot of pop-ups,
so we didn't have to do that.
And here, we're going to select
Smarter Balanced Practice Test.
We are doing ELA,
and we are doing
the computer adaptive test.
And for this exercise,
we'll be doing Grade 6.
Okay. And I'm going to go ahead
and start the practice session.
Now, you'll see
that I'm presented
with the practice session ID,
the top,
and it starts with train.
And this is the session ID
that you would need
on a student computer
in order to connect the two.
So here,
on the student computer,
I'm switching over
on Veronica's computer.
I'm...I've already made sure
that JAWS is running.
My Braille display is working.
And you need to make sure
that all of your settings
are set to how you need it,
because once you open
secure browser,
you're not going to be able
to change the settings
without closing
the secure browser,
then you're going
to have to log back on.
So, just make sure all
of these settings
are set ahead of time.
Even though that this is
the student's computer,
I'm actually going
to get her to the point
where she starts the test,
because it's already very
stressful for the student
and for them to try
to navigate logging on
and typing in their password
and things like that.
It's very stressful for them.
So I'm going to go ahead
and remove some of that stress
and just get her up to the point
where she can just
take the test.
So here on the sheet,
I am now on step number 12.
So start JAWS or screen text
and adjust necessary settings,
I've done that.
Okay. Now I'm going to open
the secure browser.
Desktop.
Folder view, list view.
CAASPP secure browser, 3015.
To move the items,
use the arrow keys.
Okay. Here,
I'm not going to type in
my first name or SSID.
I'm going to go
to the bottom here,
and I'm going to click,
"Go to the practice
and training site,"
because we're just practicing.
On the day of the test,
you're going to go ahead
and fill in the first name
and SSID here.
But we are practicing today,
so, number 14. Click.
Click View to go
to the Practice
and Training Test site link.
Student...
Okay. And this
is a little tricky,
it says, we have to uncheck
the Guest Session box,
because when you uncheck it
it's going to allow me
to type in the session ID.
If this is checked,
I can't type
into the session ID.
You see it's grayed out?
So I'm going to uncheck this.
Guest Session check box.
And now...
Session ID part one.
And I'm going to click
into the session ID
and I'm going to go ahead
and type the train...
the practice session ID
that was there.
There are no [inaudible]
there are no radio buttons
on this page.
Okay. So now it's,
kind of, gave me an error.
I typed T-R-A
and it's saying something.
I'm not sure.
So what that is, it means
that it's not in forms mode,
and lot of people
get confused here,
because I clicked in there,
because I'm sited user,
but it didn't enable
forms mode.
And so when I'm pressing T,
JAWS is thinking that
I'm looking for tables.
And so what I need to do is
I need to enable forms mode
and I'm going to do that by
pressing E to get to edit box.
[inaudible] to the top.
Session ID part one edit.
And then press spacebar.
Space.
So, the key there is you
hear the little loop sound,
and now I know that
I'm in forms mode
and I'm ready to type.
So if you get into that,
that is why.
You need to make sure
that you're in forms mode.
So the session ID is--
T-R-A-I-N--
Train.
Train eight, three, E,
Seven, eighty-two, five.
Okay. And just a note,
that your session ID
is going to be
a different number.
This is just
the sample session ID
that we have going on right now.
I'm going to click sign in.
25. Please wait.
Dialogue page...
And then the grade level
we chose was--
Select grade [inaudible] 11.
--6.
Student...
I'm going to click yes.
Please wait. Dialogue.
Student: Login.
Pick--
Student: Login.
Your test...
Okay. So now,
it's waiting for approval.
The student...
I did everything here.
Now I'm switching back
to the TA computer.
I'm going to click Refresh.
Oh, before I even clicked
Refresh, it came up.
You see this, approval, so then
now it has this red one.
Number one,
I'm going to click in there.
And it's going to say, the
guest student--guest student.
Here, I need to make
sure that this student
is set up for braille.
And this is very important.
So I'm going to click
this eye icon.
And before I even start reading,
I need to make sure
that this presentation
is not in English,
it needs to be in Braille.
Because once I select Braille,
it's going to give me
additional options.
So before I even try to go
through what was above that,
I'm just going to go
straight to Braille first
and now it's going to...now
that I have that,
I'm going to start from the top.
Okay. Expanded items off.
And here, I have a sheet
that tells you exactly
what we have to change.
So I'm on the page that says,
"Braille users
instructions for ELA."
This is under the logging on
to the practice test.
It's part of the page
and it'll tell you
exactly what you need.
So here, it'll say,
Presentation Braille,
I've already done that.
I need to make sure that the...
mute system volume.
This is a little
counterintuitive,
little confusing,
but your mute system volume,
you actually have to turn off.
It means that you're allowing
JAWS to read the items
and the passages allowed.
So I need to make sure that
that's off otherwise,
it...JAWS will not read.
And emboss request type,
on request...or
auto request for ELA,
on request is fine
if...or auto request,
it doesn't matter.
And then I need to make sure
that permissive mode is enabled.
And permissive mode, I think
Julie spoke about it earlier,
permissive mode
allows the student
to use programs
like non-built-in
accommodations so,
JAWS or any other items.
Let's give this
computer a second.
Okay. Okay.
Permissive mode enabled.
We already saw that
the presentation is Braille.
And here, a streamline,
we're going to turn that on.
Okay. So those are the settings
that you need to make sure
are correct.
And then I'm going to go ahead
and set and approve.
Okay. So, that is what's done
on the TA computer
after that process
gets approved.
On the student side,
we're still waiting
for approval.
Oh, it came up.
Okay. Now we're switching over
to the student computer.
Me, as a teacher,
I am going to check again
to make sure all
of these settings are correct.
Permissive mode is enabled,
Braille is on.
Your Braille type in this case,
it's going to be
un-contracted for Veronica.
You can make this contracted
or Grade 2 if you like
and make sure
that streamline is on.
Okay. So everything's good.
I'm going to click, yes.
Desktop.
Folder view, link...
Now it's going to ask me
if I can hear this audio clip.
I'm going to click that.
Play video button.
And I heard this sound.
So, I'm going to click,
"I could play the video
and sound."
Instructions
and Help heading...
Instructions and Help.
And we're going go ahead
and begin.
Dialogue. Student: Test.
Student: Test Document.
Okay. So all of that,
I did as the teacher
because I want
to make sure Veronica
is in the best condition
she is in
to be able to take the test
and not have to worry
about all of this whole
logging and navigating.
And so now, I'm going
to hand over
the computer to her,
and...
I'm going to now switch over
to the sheet called Navigating
the Test with JAWS.
And in the sheet,
it talks about how to navigate
this test in the different kind
of landmark elements there are,
or how to navigate headings,
or answer questions.
So the first thing that...
because this is a practice test,
and this the first time
that Veronica
has seen this test,
I'm going to tell her
that there are three
main regions
on this test.
And you can navigate
the regions by pressing R.
So, Veronica,
can you go ahead and type R?
Banner.
The banner region.
So the banner region
is at the top of the screen.
It talks about
the test information
and the progress.
Press R again.
Navigation Region.
For Navigation Region,
it includes
the Navigation Tool buttons,
back, next, save, et cetera.
Main Region.
And...R again,
so that the Main Region.
Now, the Main Region
is where most
of the test content is.
It's the passages,
the questions,
and the answers.
Okay.
So if she wants to navigate...
so let's say she answered
the question
and she wants to go
to the next one,
she can press R
until she gets
to the Navigation Region
and then click next.
So we want to talk about
how that page is structured.
Okay. So if you want
to jump headings,
you can press H.
Passage Title:
Heading Level 2.
And so every Heading Level
will say, like, having...
Heading Level 1,
Heading Level 2.
And it'll read
the heading of that area.
And if that's
what she wants to read,
then she can just down arrow
from there.
If she wants
to navigate buttons,
she can press B.
If she wants
to navigate edit boxes,
she can press E.
Arrow keys to re-tab.
So, the basic
navigation commands
are here on that sheet.
So, similarly,
if your student
is not really a typist,
but is really good at Braille
and wants to use
the Braille display to navigate,
she can do the same thing too.
So, on the Braille display,
she can type R.
Drop in the top banner.
And that goes
to the banner region.
R again.
Navigation region.
Or let's say
if you want to go to
the headings, you can press H.
Passage title:
Heading Level Three.
And so, she can navigate
the same way instead of using
the keyboard
and she's actually Brailling it
using the Braille display,
so that's an option.
So, on the second page,
it says Braille Display
Navigation Commands.
It tells you
what all of those commands
are as well
on the Braille display.
Okay. So, let's go ahead
and start on this test.
Let's say we're...
let's go to regions,
to the main region
because that's
where the passage is.
Required:
Question number one.
Heading Level Three.
R.
Drop in the top banner.
Okay. Good.
Navigation region.
Main region.
Main region. Okay.
And then let's press H
for Heading.
Passage tittle:
Heading Level Two.
Okay. And then down arrow
to read.
Read the text
and answer the questions.
Blank, eureka.
Eureka.
Perfect.
They must have known
that I was going to be
presenting on this.
Okay. So, she's going
to use the...
her navigation commands
to read.
The other option is that
she can use the Braille display
and progress to Braille.
So, if she's a good...
a very good Braille reader,
she can just keep reading
and reading,
and she doesn't actually have
to navigate using the computer
and have JAWS read.
So, she's going to read
all the way down.
And then, let's say,
we want to go to the question.
So, go ahead and press H
to get to the question.
Required: Question number one
Heading Level Three.
Okay. So, what's
a little bit tricky
is if you heard it, it says,
"Required: Question number one.
Heading Level Three."
Visually, it doesn't
really take us there
and that's okay
because it's not about us
what's being demonstrated
on the screen,
it's...as long as Veronica
is able to read
what's on the screen.
But for the purposes,
just to make sure
that we're all in the same page,
I'm going to scroll it down.
So, he...she's here
where it says
question number one.
And let's go ahead
and press the down arrow
and read what it says.
Menu button, menu.
So, the menu button
are the three bars
on the right-hand side.
And if she wanted
to select that,
she could press enter
or spacebar,
but it's not necessary
for the student to do so.
Group start, select text.
Click on the two sentences
that best supports
the conclusion that
Archimedes is very observant.
Okay. So, this is
an interesting question
because it says,
"Click on the two sentences,"
but how is she supposed to click
if she's using
the arrow keys, right?
So, this is
where Braille display
is absolutely important
and necessary
for a Braille reader
to take the test.
She will have to read it
using her Braille display
and whenever she...
whatever item she selects,
she can route the cursor there
to select that sentence.
So, go ahead
and use your...either.
A. There was,
in the king's court,
a very wise man
whose name was Archimedes.
Check box not checked.
Blank.
B. When he was called in
to admire the king's crown,
he turned it over many times
and examined it very closely.
Check box not checked.
So, she's going to--
When he was called in
to admire the--
So, what she did
was she read it
on her Braille display
and then she routed the cursor.
The other option
is I think you'd be able
to press enter
on that sentence as well.
C. "True," said
Archimedes,
"but it does not appear
to have the same rich red color
that it had in the lump..."
Check box not checked.
Enter. "True"--
Okay.
So, Veronica, at the time,
she pressed enter
on the Braille display,
which also selected.
So, there's several ways
to select.
She can also press enter
or spacebar on the keyboard
to select that line.
Okay? And then,
so now she's going to go
to the next question
and to quickly jump
to the next question,
she can press H for Heading.
Required:
Question number two.
Heading Level Three.
Okay.
And then down arrow to read.
Menu button, menu.
Blank. Which sentence
best summarizes
the central idea of the text.
Blank. Group start,
multiple choice.
Radio button not checked.
Tricking the king
can be dangerous.
One of four.
Okay.
So, now this is a radio button,
so we have a sheet
called Selecting a Radio Button.
And this...let's see
if she wants to do it on JAWS
commands on the keyboard,
she can just down arrow,
and she can press the spacebar
to select.
Radio button not checked.
Creating a beautiful object
is challenging.
Two of four.
Radio button not checked.
Problems could be solved
in unusual ways.
Three of four.
Radio button not checked.
Kings can solve problems
as cleverly as ordinary people.
Four of four.
Space.
Kings can solve--
So, here she pressed
the spacebar to select.
The other option
if she's reading
on the Braille display,
she can just route
the cursor and select
that option as well.
Okay? So, let's go ahead
at question number three.
Required:
Question number three.
I'm going to go ahead
and skip number three
because it's also
a radio button.
Tab, tab, menu button...tab.
Majority rate. Space.
Okay. And then,
so I'm skipping number three
because it's another
radio button
and I want to go to number four,
so let's go ahead and press H.
H.
Or tab.
Escape. Virtual PC cursor.
Required:
Question number four.
Heading Level Three.
Down--
So, to get out of forms vote,
I pressed escape,
so that I could navigate
the webpage again.
Menu, button, menu.
Blank.
Summarize what happens
after Archimedes
sees his bathwater overflowing.
Use key events form the text
to support your summary.
Blank.
Type your response.
Okay.
So, number four
is typing in a textbox
when she can refer to the sheet,
Typing in a Text Box.
Veronica was navigating
using the down arrow,
and so it read,
"Summarize what happens,"
and she pressed
down arrow again,
but we're not at this point
allowed to type
because we're not in forms mode.
So, what she has to do
is press enter or spacebar
to kick it in to forms mode.
Space, type your response.
Answer required, type a text.
And we heard that...we heard
the little beep, so now
we know that you can type
in a response versus giving JAWS
a navigational command.
So, go ahead and type something.
H-I.
Hi, exclaim.
Okay.
And now she's done.
So, she can press tab
to get out of that.
Tab.
Require: Question number--
And then, it go...
goes onto question number five.
So, I think that, kind of,
gives you an idea
of how to navigate
the test efficiently.
If you ever want to go back,
you can do shift H
and that goes
to the previous heading
or you can always
press control home
and that'll get you
to the very top of the page,
and then navigate down that way.
So, I think next...
there's also some other
question types
such as Controlling
a Sound Clip,
we have a sheet
for Selecting Check Boxes,
and Selecting Sentences
in Words within a Paragraph.
And so, those are the different
question types
that you may come across,
which we have a sheet
for each one of those.
So, that's ELA with JAWS.
And next, we're going to be
doing Math with JAWS.
