Hello, Hope this is helpful to some of you.
AccessNote is the official iOS notetaker from the American Foundation for the Blind., and the first notetaker for the iOS platform designed particularly for VoiceOver users looking for a highly efficient, feature-rich note taking experience. In addition to being a low cost alternative to traditional note takers, AccessNote allows users to combine efficient note taking with the countless other features and functions of the iOS devices. This allows blind and visually impaired people in classroom settings to use the same popular iOS devices that their sighted peers are using. Teachers can use AccessNote in activities with a specialized, mainstream, or inclusive classroom. The suggestions below help to teach students with visual impairments as well as their sighted peers about the capability of accessible apps, how to use mobile assistive technology, and how to electronically collaborate with others who are using different technical solutions. list of 5 items 1. Teachers can personally use AccessNote in the classroom to make notes about upcoming homework assignments for the students. Keeping the VoiceOver function turned on and connected to a speaker will make the students aware of when it is being used and how they can use technology to keep track of their own work. 2. Plan a "Notetaking Challenge." After a lecture, ask the class 3 trivia questions and allow them to refer to their notes for the answer. Students using AccessNote will be able to use the "search note" feature and will likely beat their peers referring to handwritten notes to the correct answer. 3. A student using AccessNote can be assigned to take notes for a study group, and then asked to print or e-mail the notes to the rest of the group. 4. If a student is learning braille, ask them to give a speech to the class using notes prepared in AccessNote, while referring to them on a refreshable braille display. 5. Ask a student to peer edit someone else's work on AccessNote - import the assignment in, edit, and return with suggested changes. list end AccessNote is available for iOS devices for 19.99 in the Apple App Store.
