As an old codger who never saw a computer till I was almost 40, even the
Dreamhold game is challenging. But I did have to really pay a lot of
attention to directions even so. To the extent that I could, anyway. I
started last night and have only manged to pick up two masks, which took me
over an hour! I'm sure all the (those under 40) are laughing!

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.
