As an instructor you want to be aware of another item while using Surf's Up. For example, let's say your student is several pages into the Surf's Up training web site. While you could press ALT+B, Bravo, repeatedly to move backwards to get to the first page of Surf's Up, there is a much quicker way. Many web sites have a graphic company logo, which is also a link, at the top of their web pages to make it easier for you to get back to their home page. Surf's Up mimics this behavior so you can practice using it as well. At the top of every page in Surf's Up besides the home page is a graphic link that simply reads, "Surf's Up." It is a small thumbnail image of a shark's fin which is also a link to the Surf's Up home page. So, if you want to go to the Surf's Up home page, simply press CTRL+HOME to move to the top of the page and find the graphic link, "Surf's Up." I'll do that now.
(J) Navigating Web Pages, visited link graphic, Surf’s Up.
(N) You may also use the navigation quick key G, Golf, to quickly find the home graphic link. I will press ENTER on the home link for Surf's Up.
(J) Surf’s Up! Surfing the Internet with JAWS, page has 3 regions, 11 headings, and 27 links.
(N) One final note about the exercises and links to sample pages you encounter in Surf's Up. Most of these links open in a new browser window, which depending on how your computer is set up, may appear as multiple tabs within one browser session or may open in completely new windows. This is on purpose so that your student can press ALT+TAB to switch between the open windows and the list of instructions she may be practicing with. You can close windows that open separately by pressing ALT+F4 and you can close separate tabs within the current session by pressing CTRL+F4. Thanks for joining me in this demonstration of using Surf's Up as a training tool!
