Subject: Re: [Nfb-announce] Do not miss this: Make the iPad
accessible for theclassroom!
Each of us wants something different from a book, of course. this
one, directed toward teachers and parents, gives good instruction
for using the iPad with Braille and qwerty keyboards, stressing
that students will need additional devices if they want to use the
iPad for tasks like writing termpapers. it is not a tutorial with
lesson by lesson presentation and detailed exercises, although a
creative person could devise her own exercises. Often the user is
told to turn off the on-screen keyboard while performing tasks like
adding to contacts, then to go to a new field and double tap to
edit text. I am curious as to why I would want to turn off the
keyboard, only to (I suppose) reactivate it immediately by double
tapping on the next text field.
I would have liked more description of the screen from a blind
person's point of view--an explanation on the music screen that
there are two active parts of the screen, not just one, and you can
inadvertently shoot yourself in the foot by crossing to another
section. And is there a way to get back to the album when the tabs
at the bottom of the screen say 'album', but only songs are
listed. I am probably showing my ignorance more than
anything. the author knows his material well, but his information
seems to me to be directed toward people who can see the screen,
rather than to people who can't.
