Thanks, Dan.  I don't remember seeing that, but it is fairly standard.  I 
cannot 
find it anywhere in our correspondence, but it was probably online when we 
requested participation.  I had thought it was more open since it is being 
discussed on other educational lists, but obviously just because it is 
happening 
does not mean it is allowed.

Since it is OT here, it is probably better to take it private anyway.

Hi,
 
I hate to be a stick in the mud but...
 
I too applied for the accessibility testing  program.  However, I was not 
chosen.
 
As I recall the confidentiality agreements prohibit  one from discussing them 
with others not part of the program.
 
As such you really should not be discussing them on  this or any list not 
related to them.
 
Sorry, just trying to prevent you from getting a  slap on the hand by Google.
 
Dan Beaver

Like y'all, I got a Chromebook for accessibility testing, but it appears  they 
they confined accessibility to the totally blind.  It is an amazing  netbook, 
but there is nothing for people with physical disabilities; no sticky  keys no 
global speech recognition, nothing... Am I missing  something?

Hi Daria,

I'll be brief  here.  I also just received my Chromebook.  It comes with not 
enough  information about how to make it work!

You turn on your Chromebook by  opening it up, if it's a Samsung like mine 
anyway.  It doesn't come with  Accessibility features enabled, so the first 
thing you should do is press  Control+Alt+z, and wait for the voice to say 
"Accessibility Enabled."

On  your Braille pages is  a link to the ChromeVox User's Guide online.  I  
used 
my regular computer to bring that up.  I'm now online and reading mail  there, 
though I switched back to my usual computer to write back!

Hope  this helpes!
Sandi
