ZoomText+Project

**Low Vision Access Technologies Project**
Ask a family member, friend or colleague to help you with this assignment. You will complete each activity (Activity 1 and Activity 2) twice. The first time you complete the activity as the teacher, the second as the student or user of the technology. The activities are written from the perspective of the teacher, so they will make sense from that perspective. The second time you do the activities (as a user/student) you may have someone there to help you, but you should try and do as much as possible on your own.

Please be sure that whoever has the role of “student” uses low vision occlusion of some kind. If you need further assistance with this, please contact Brooke Smith.

After you complete the activities, please write a short reflection paper (2-3 pages). The reflection paper should be double-spaced, in 12 point font and should be carefully edited.

Your reflection paper should answer the following questions: 1. As a teacher, what did you learn about your knowledge and comfort level with the technology? What skills/knowledge do you think you would need to acquire (if any) in order to teach this content area? 2. As a teacher, how did you perceive your role? What did you learn about your teaching style? 3. As a learner, how did you experience the activities? What was easy? Challenging? What did you discover about your learning style?
