Assistive Technology Hardware
Annotations by Ellen Adriance

Track #268872
Format: Resource list

<p>This collection of websites is intended to answer the delicate question of "how do they do that" in regard to assistive technology. How does your sight impaired or blind client or student "read" the computer screen? How does someone with only above the neck mobility activate a computer? And don't forget, limitations may include c<font face="Tahoma">ognitive and neural issues which have devices and software to addess those issues.</font></p><p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Sophisticated hardware devices are run through a serial port, and these devices run on software that are designed to be compatible with the Windows operating system.</font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt">Oh, by the way, what is and where is a serial port?

Track #267547
Format: Extended learning

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">Computer software and technology training have been part of our society’s public education system since the 1980s. However, technology-training standards have just (in the past ten years) become required, established and codified as other subjects, such as math. For instance, after completing High School, most students are expected to have basic mathematics and some algebra skills. What about computer skills-level expectations for the software you are learning in this class? Were computers “in” after you graduated high school? </font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"></font> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><strong>READ THIS DOCUMENT.</strong></p><p><strong>VIEW ALL OF THE RELATED WEBSITES BY<em> </em>SCROLLING AND CLICKING ON THE NUMBERED LINKS ON THE LEFT, OR IN THIS DOCUMENT.</strong></p><p><strong>SEE LINK # 8 TO TAKE A BASIC COMPUTER QUIZ, WITH INSTANT FEED BACK FOR YOUR INFORMATION ONLY.
