Hi Zack, It should be interesting and fun. I had some formal training from assistive technology people from my State Services for the Blind when I started using jaws years ago. I didn't like their style of teaching because a lot of them would talk or teach so technical. I did a lot better once I had someone who wasn't formally trained in assistive technology, or IT, and used the software on a daily basis. They were blind themselves and so were able to show and explain how to use the software to me on a lay person's level. You know what I mean? So it will be interesting to see what this trainer's style of teaching is like.

I've never had formal training from any tech company, so it'll be interesting to get your perspective as you go through the process. I can't wait. Welcome to the Mac. Best, Zack.

I am very surprised and excited about how willing the people at my Apple store are willing to work with me and how friendly and accommodating they seem to be. This past December I went into the Apple store near my home and looked at voice over on the Macbook. The sales person I worked with, who worked with me for two hours and I made an appointment to come in, was so helpful and friendly. I learned a lot in those two hours. If it wasn't for the cost I would have purchased a Macbook right there and then. Luckily, my family purchased one for me a little over a month ago for my birthday. I hope my first session will go well tomorrow and I'll tell everyone how it went. > > Sarah > > From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf OfChristopher Peppel > Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2011 7:18 PM > To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com > Subject: Re: will be starting my first mac class > > Hi Sara, > > I hope you enjoy your Mac class. I took them at the Apple store here in Burlington, MA and enjoyed it very much. I have to give them all the praise in the world. The fact that they don't know VO and yet were willing to work with me says a lot about Apple. Good luck. > > Chris > On Apr 7, 2011, at 7:11 PM, Sarah May wrote: > > > Hi List, > > If the guy at the Apple store in my area gets back to me this evening; I will be starting my first Mac with voice over classes. I will have one-on-one instruction and am really looking forward to it. Also my niece's birthday is coming up. She'll be receiving an I-Pod touch. So Aunt Sarah is going to purchase an I-tunes gift card for her. I never had the kind of technology that is around today for music at her age. She'll be nine years old.
