Re: iPad in portrait or landscape

[Matthew Janusauskas]

Landscape orientation on an iPad allows for a nearly full-size onscreen 
keyboard. It’s also more conducive to running two apps side by side at the same 
time.

Re: iPad in portrait or landscape

[Deb Cook Lewis]

I'd agree with tom's comments. My low vision students have generally
liked the landscape mode. But as a VO user, i've never seen any
advantage for it. The one exception might be in any browser, I like
the way it lays things out in landscape mode for the browser. but
otherwise, I see no real advantage. And I'm also looking forward to
hearing a different opinion on this.

Re: iPad in portrait or landscape

[Thom Spittle]

I Dean, 
The only observations I have are more with your students more than you. If your 
student is low vision, they may like the larger size of youtube videos when in 
landscape mode. Otherwise, the only difference I see is that the keyboard has 
larger keys in landscape mode, which some user like better.

Looking forward to hearig other people’s opinions.

Thom
