Ideas for calculators with visually impaired students.
Of course, none of these may be helpful for Braille students, but are
useful for visually impaired students. The first, found below, is something
"from a teacher" that had distributed to T3 instructors. It
involves using the TI Presenter with a small TV or computer monitor.
Also, I have heard of success with someone just using the view screen
panel. A special white board had been constructed by the industrial technology
department to hold the view screen on the student's desk. The student
just looked at the output directly on the view screen, not its projection
on the wall.
Also, I have heard success with using a graphing calculator emulator
on a computer because it can be enlarged enough so that those with poor
vision can see both the keys and the screen output.
Finally, is a talking calculator - not a graphing calculator, however.
This talking calculator talks and echoes the number when it is being pressed.
When I went to the web site I did not expect much when I saw that it was
free. Well, I have been told that it is really helpful and incredibly
easy to use. You can find it at www.readingmadeeasy.com
.
The following websites offer a variety of tools designed for the blind
or visually impaired regarding mathematics and in particular graphing.
As I have gotten a number of requests for graphing calculators for the
blind, I thought you all might want these web addresses as well.
