Hehe, funny you should talk about orientation. My sense of
direction is not so good sometimes, I rely so much on land marks
and have trouble with compass direction. I love the games, well
have only played the dreamhold one so far, but I tell you I find
myself going back and forth, because I forget which direction to
go or which way I have been and what was there. Perhaps if I had
had this to mess around with as a child, I'd be better at my
directions? I think it is perfect. I work with two blind twin
girls who are 10, and they would simply love the games, once they
can get either an m-power or keysoft 7.

Hi Sharon, thanks so much for this feedback. That certainly
mirrors the
feedback we're getting here, which is that the games are one of
the most
innovative ways to get kids interested in practicing their
Braille that
have come along for years. That was the primary reason for
adding it. It's
a huge, huge educational tool. As well as assisting with reading
and
writing, the adventure games assist with orientation due to the
need to
use compass directions to navigate the games. And given that the
majority
of BrailleNotes end up in education, it's all pretty significant.
I'm glad
you shared this experience.
