#AppMondayTAS - Voiceover Gestures

If you've ever tried to navigate and iOS device when Voiceover is activated, these cheat sheets, posted to the iTeach Special Education Facebook Group (an amazing resource for all things iOS), might be what you need!  They are from the book Getting Started:  iPads for Special Needs by Sami Rahman, one of the co-founders of BridgingApps.org.  These 2 sheets provide clear instruction on how to navigate an iOS device when Voiceover is turned on.  You get the rest of the book from it's website.

Make your own Interactive Whiteboard

One of the more techy adaptations floating around the internet at this time is the Wiimote Whiteboard. What exactly is a Wiimote Whiteboard? It's a way to turn a simple projector into a Smartboard. Basically you connect your Wiimote to your computer (that's hooked up to your projector), point the Wiimote at the screen, and use an LED pen to access the screen. The Infrared Sensor on the Wiimote detects where you touch and translates that to the computer, just like a mouse. The beauty of this, it can all be done for $75 or less! The software is available free on the internet, a Wiimote costs-$40, a LED pen-$10, a tripod-$20, & an adapter for the tripod-$10. Here are several sites that talk about how to set up a Wiimote Whiteboard:
