00:00:01.133 --> 00:00:03.400
Today we are going to look at

00:00:03.400 --> 00:00:06.067
how to create accessible Math content

00:00:06.067 --> 00:00:08.200
using MathType.

00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:10.933
MathType is actually a program

00:00:10.933 --> 00:00:13.933
that comes into your Microsoft Word window

00:00:13.933 --> 00:00:16.733
as part of your ribbon.

00:00:16.733 --> 00:00:19.133
So what you first do is open up

00:00:19.133 --> 00:00:21.733
a Microsoft Word document,

00:00:21.733 --> 00:00:24.667
and then we are going to click on MathType.

00:00:24.667 --> 00:00:27.733
Notice when we click on MathType,

00:00:27.733 --> 00:00:31.067
we are going to get a new ribbon here

00:00:31.067 --> 00:00:33.867
and what we want to do is...

00:00:33.867 --> 00:00:35.267
we want to insert an equation,

00:00:35.267 --> 00:00:36.667
so I am going to go up

00:00:36.667 --> 00:00:39.067
and click on Inline

00:00:39.067 --> 00:00:41.333
and Inline is going to give us the ability

00:00:41.333 --> 00:00:44.333
to put an equation into our document.

00:00:44.333 --> 00:00:46.533
Once I do that, my MathType

00:00:46.533 --> 00:00:48.867
Math editing window comes up

00:00:48.867 --> 00:00:53.933
and I am able to type in whatever I want

00:00:53.933 --> 00:00:57.067
and there is also all of the mathematical symbols

00:00:57.067 --> 00:00:59.467
that we would need to create anything

00:00:59.467 --> 00:01:02.400
from Algebra up through Calculus.

00:01:02.400 --> 00:01:04.800
So I am going to start with something very simple.

00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:07.200
I am just going to do a simple quadratic,

00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:09.933
and I don't need to use the spacebar at all,

00:01:09.933 --> 00:01:12.200
because MathType automatically

00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:14.159
formats everything for me.

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:15.918
So I am just going to keep typing.

00:01:15.918 --> 00:01:18.215
So I will type three x, and now

00:01:18.215 --> 00:01:20.259
I want to put a power

00:01:20.259 --> 00:01:23.133
on that expression so I noticed

00:01:23.133 --> 00:01:27.333
my blinking curser is around the three x

00:01:27.333 --> 00:01:30.000
I am going to come up here into my bar

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.533
and select this button right here

00:01:32.533 --> 00:01:34.867
because you can see that is going to give me

00:01:34.867 --> 00:01:37.333
the ability to put in an exponent.

00:01:37.333 --> 00:01:41.333
Once I do, my blinking cursor has left my three x

00:01:41.333 --> 00:01:44.133
and now comes up into the position

00:01:44.133 --> 00:01:47.467
so that I can type in my squared.

00:01:47.467 --> 00:01:50.000
Now in order to get back

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.800
to finishing off my quadratic,

00:01:52.800 --> 00:01:54.933
I need to take that blinking cursor

00:01:54.933 --> 00:01:56.533
and get it back down,

00:01:56.533 --> 00:01:59.400
and the way to do that is to hit the tab key.

00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:01.600
Notice once I hit the tab key,

00:02:01.600 --> 00:02:04.000
now my blinking cursor has gone down, underneath

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:08.400
and it is enclosing that entire expression

00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:10.200
that tells me that I am done with that

00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:12.200
and I can move on.

00:02:12.200 --> 00:02:19.533
So I will type in plus five x minus seven

00:02:19.533 --> 00:02:22.800
and I have created my quadratic.

00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:25.400
Now if I had to go back and edit everything

00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:27.467
I could tab back through

00:02:27.467 --> 00:02:29.800
and notice when I hit the tab key

00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:31.267
it gives me the ability to go in

00:02:31.267 --> 00:02:33.400
and make some changes.

00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:35.333
I am just going to hit the enter key

00:02:35.333 --> 00:02:38.200
and go down and type a second expression.

00:02:38.200 --> 00:02:41.133
I'll make it a little more involved this time.

00:02:41.133 --> 00:02:43.933
Let's try something with a radical

00:02:43.933 --> 00:02:46.533
If I go up into my tool bar,

00:02:46.533 --> 00:02:49.400
and I choose that radical,

00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:51.467
it gives me my square root

00:02:51.467 --> 00:02:54.733
and I am going to type an actual expression

00:02:54.733 --> 00:02:56.800
as opposed to just a number there

00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:05.133
so lets say six x plus nine

00:03:05.133 --> 00:03:07.667
now my blinkinq cursor

00:03:07.667 --> 00:03:09.800
is still sitting underneath the radical

00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:11.467
so if i kept typing it would just

00:03:11.467 --> 00:03:13.933
extend that radical, but I want

00:03:13.933 --> 00:03:16.200
to get out from under that,

00:03:16.200 --> 00:03:18.267
so again I am going to hit the tab key

00:03:18.267 --> 00:03:21.533
when I do that, notice now it has changed,

00:03:21.533 --> 00:03:23.867
and it is showing me that I can move on

00:03:23.867 --> 00:03:27.000
and I will just put in a minus ten

00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.062
and I'm done!

00:03:30.062 --> 00:03:32.400
So I am just going to hit the enter key,

00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:33.867
and I am going to say,

00:03:33.867 --> 00:03:36.000
"Well, that is all I want to put in for today."

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.600
So I will go up to file

00:03:38.600 --> 00:03:42.333
Close and Return to Document 1.

00:03:42.333 --> 00:03:45.667
Notice I could have just updated it and kept going

00:03:45.667 --> 00:03:48.667
but for today I am going to close

00:03:48.667 --> 00:03:51.267
and save changes, Yes.

00:03:51.267 --> 00:03:53.733
and once I do that you can see

00:03:53.733 --> 00:03:54.856
my Word document

00:03:54.856 --> 00:03:57.620
now has those equations, well...

00:03:57.620 --> 00:03:59.800
this quadratic expression,

00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.867
and this radical expression.

00:04:02.867 --> 00:04:04.000
I should not have said equation

00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.667
because there is no equal sign there

00:04:06.667 --> 00:04:08.200
Now we are going to go ahead

00:04:08.200 --> 00:04:10.000
and save our document

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:11.667
We have to save it in Word

00:04:11.667 --> 00:04:14.800
before we actually go to publish it.

00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:18.133
So I am going to click File, Save As...

00:04:18.133 --> 00:04:22.933
and I want to save this as a .doc file,

00:04:22.933 --> 00:04:28.533
so I am going to go up to 97-2003 document .doc

00:04:28.533 --> 00:04:35.000
and I will call this todaysTest and click Save

00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:40.267
Now I can go and publish to MathPage

00:04:40.267 --> 00:04:44.067
When I do that my little window comes up

00:04:44.067 --> 00:04:46.333
I could title my page

00:04:46.333 --> 00:04:50.733
and I want to choose "Using MathML"

00:04:50.733 --> 00:04:55.400
When I go down and choose using MathML

00:04:55.400 --> 00:04:57.200
notice that it gives me all browsers

00:04:57.200 --> 00:04:58.800
Windows, Macintosh, Linux

00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.533
but I dont want that, I want Internet Explorer.

00:05:01.533 --> 00:05:04.533
So I am going to click on this down arrow

00:05:04.533 --> 00:05:07.688
and choose MathPlayer IE behavior.

00:05:07.688 --> 00:05:10.200
Once I do that, notice

00:05:10.200 --> 00:05:12.053
that my target browser changes

00:05:12.053 --> 00:05:13.800
and I have exactly what I want.

00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:16.533
and I can click OK

00:05:16.533 --> 00:05:19.400
It's processing the equations

00:05:19.400 --> 00:05:23.133
and notice my window has changed

00:05:23.133 --> 00:05:24.499
and my MathPlayer Logo has come up.

00:05:24.499 --> 00:05:27.933
So I should be able to read this now with Jaws.

00:05:27.933 --> 00:05:32.067
I am going to turn on my screen reader.

00:05:32.067 --> 00:05:34.646
and it may take a minute to load.

00:05:34.646 --> 00:05:35.923
We will come up here

00:05:35.923 --> 00:05:36.800
and we will hit Insert down arrow

00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:38.010
[screen reader] table with three rows

00:05:38.010 --> 00:05:39.923
and row one column one

00:05:39.923 --> 00:05:41.744
three x squared plus five x minus seven

00:05:41.744 --> 00:05:43.800
row two column one square root of six x plus nine.

00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:45.267
end root minus ten

00:05:45.267 --> 00:05:46.600
row three column one end table.

00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.800
But what we have managed to do here now is...

00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:50.000
We have managed to create

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.144
screen reader accessible Mathematics

00:05:52.144 --> 00:05:56.077
which is something that is very important!
