[Blindtlk] IPads?

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Penny,

Yes, that might be a problem.  Does Abby (I believe that's your 
daughter's name) have a notetaker, like a BrailleNote or a 
PacMate? If so, she can use her notetaker as a refreshable 
Braille display for her iPad by connecting the two devices via 
bluetooth.  By the way, if she has any questions
 about technology or anything else related to being a blind 
student, I would be happy to help and support her! I'm 13, a few 
years older than her, so I may be able to answer some of her 
questions.  She can email me at dotkid.nusbaum at gmail.com.  You 
and/or her can also friend me on Facebook.  Search for 
Christopher Nusbaum, or call me on Skype at christpher.nusbaum3.  
The NABS (National Association of Blind Students) list is also a 
great resource.  To subscribe, go to nfbnet.org.  Please feel 
free to contact me and/or the lists.  Hope this helps!

Chris

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance." -- Kenneth Jernigan (President of the National 
Federation of the Blind, 1968-1986.)

impaired children in MD say "I can!"

My daughter has one (she is 7) The only issue i have is finding 
fun apps for
a 7 year old that are voice over compatible.  I am hoping to get 
my hands on
a refreshable braille display for her and using it with the new 
Bookshare
app.  .

There are a lot of really useful applications out there.

 Hi guys,



 Just wondering if anyone has begun playing with and using the 
IPads.  They
 intrigue me, but I'd like to hear from other folks.  What is 
your
 experience
 with them?

 Is anyone teaching them?

 Jim
