Hello there, how are you doing?
Perhaps, a good approach to this, is showing the student how to do
colorful things that he or she might enjoy. Perhaps, customizing a
desktop. Nothing anything deep, but just selecting their own
wallpaper as a default, or choosing a default picture. This would
get them a handle on going over dialogues. Social things such as
Adium, or just even iChat, which is already preinstalled would do
nicely as well. This would help in learning how to converse with
friends, and help them in getting use to interacting and so fourth.
Other things like going over iTunes, perhaps, navigating simplistic
webpages, e-mail, and perhaps manybe finding something in particular
to his or her interest.
One particular thing to mention is accessible games. I hear there
are some new games, and older ones as well, now available on the
mac. I don't know the respected companies, and how responsive they
are with voice over, but it is certainly a avenue to look at.
Other things you can do, is playing around with text edit to get
confortable with editing simplistic tasks, and if he or she does
music, you can try Garage Band.
I wish you well.
Best,
Fonzie

Hello,
Got any suggestions on things that could keep teaching Voiceover
fun for teens and pre-teens? I am helping out a friend teach her
son Voiceover, and I want to keep things interesting. One thing
that helped big time was the use of tactile graphics of the OS,
Safari, iTunes, common controls, etc. I used the ViewPlus Emprint
in emboss only mode on Windows to emboss the screen captures. I had
a friend help me crop them to exactly what I wanted to show off.
Wonderful result.
He likes sports, games, and music. Please let me know what could be
helpful.
Thanks,
Ryan Dour
