<H2>Notes App:<o:p></o:p></H2>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><B>The notes app continues to be enhanced with each iOS
upgrade. These new features make it more powerful along with getting closer
and
closer to a word processing app. Examples are insertion of tables, sketches,
photos, taking a picture of a document and marking it up/signing it. You can
pick different font styles/colors, handwriting tools, check lists, grid
lines
and you can attach files(photos, pdf’s, scanned documents) as well. I have
saved
a voice mail message into a note. You can save a picture into a
note. If the note is within your iCloud account, you can give
permission
to others to collaborate directly on that note with you. You may
choose to
share all the notes within a folder by providing access at the folder
level. <o:p></o:p></B></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><B>This lesson does not go into detail on any specific
feature within a note.<o:p></o:p></B></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><B>It is recommended to read the notes chapter in the
user’s
manual for the iPhone for additional information on features. The manual can
be
found in the Books app or searching support.apple.com<o:p></o:p></B></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><B>A homescreen shortcut may also have been placed on
your
device by the school which will take you directly to the online User Manual
via
a Safari link. You may want to contact the Apple Accessibility phone number
at
1-877-204-3930 for additional information/assistance.<o:p></o:p></B></P>

perspective,
please also find the link to the online iPAD Users manual.<o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><B>You can store notes on your phone in the notes folder
or
in your iCloud account in the notes folder. If your email provider allows a
notes folder, you may also store notes there as well. You may create
new
folders/sub-folders within these accounts. You need to be on the
Folders screen and find the New Folder button near the bottom right hand
corner
to create a new folder within your iCloud account or on your device/iPhone.
</B><o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>You can move folders, rename them, drag them onto another
folder creating a subfolder and you can delete an entire
folder.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Notes can be very confusing. This is partially due to the
word notes for the app and then multiple notes folders created within
multiple
accounts. It is highly recommended to listen to the title heading of the
screen
and the name of the back button to help determine the location you are
really in
with in the hierarchy of the notes app, notes folders, notes lists.
There
is a similarity of the notes app to the contacts. When you are in
contacts
you have a list of contacts and when you double tap on a contact you are
viewing
the contact summary screen and then you have to go into edit mode to get the
contact details screen. This is very similar with Notes. When you are in a
Notes
folder and have the list of notes, you double tap the note you want to open
and
you are in a Notes summary screen that you can flick through and listen to
the
full note as well as some options down at the bottom. You need to double tap
somewhere in the body of the note in order to open the note in edit mode and
the
virtual keyboard will also then pop up. Once you are done creating/editing
your
note, you need to hit the done button. When you hit the done button, you are
brought back to the notes summary screen. Once again you have an opportunity
to
flick through the screen and hear the whole note along with some additional
options at the bottom of the screen. You need to hit the back button in
order to
get to the folder with the list of notes. Understanding the hierarchy levels
and
whether you are in the note summary screen or the note detail editing screen
will greatly assist you while working with in the notes app.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Once you have created at least one note, you will have a
Notes list similar to the same view as contacts, text messaging list, email
list. The notes or sorted and ascending order based on The revised date. You
can
change this option for this folder by double tapping the folder actions
button
near the top left of the screen and then select sort by default
button.
Choose Oldest to Newest, Newest to Oldest, Title, Date Created, Date
Edited(Default)<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>You can change the overall default notes list view by
going
to Settings/Notes.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>There is a button between the folder back
button
and the heading at the top of the screen. This is the folder Actions
menu
button. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>You can then choose to View as Gallery, Share folder,
Select
notes, Sort Notes, Add folder, Move folder, Rename or View
attachments.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>You will not see the Share folder option when the folder
is
NOT within iCloud. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>While the focus is on an individual note in the list,
there
are several one finger up/down actions. They are Activate(default),
drag
item, send a copy, share note, move note, delete note, Add pin note.
<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Again, not all options may be available depending on
where
the note is stored. Also, the flick up/down actions may differ from
the
note action menu button found within the note once opened. Once I
opened
the same note, the menu displayed the note title, close, scan, pin, lock
note,
delete, share note, send a copy, find in note, move note, lines &
grids.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The Pinned action initially creates a heading called
pinned
and places that note below that heading at the top of your list. You can pin
as
many notes as you want and this moves the note up under the heading
called
pinned. This seems to be a way of overriding the sort order in which
notes
appear in the notes list for this folder.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Another interesting action item is the ability to lock a
note
with a code/face id/touch id. Be very careful: The lock code is /may
not
be the same as your passcode to your device – You must not forget the
code.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Take notice of the terminology of ‘send a copy’ versus
‘share
note’. We are used to the word share to mean the use of the share
sheet
options coming up. Share in this case refers to the ability to invite
others to either view or collaborate directly on your note/folders contents
depending on how you decide the privileges.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The send a copy will bring up the familiar share
sheet
options to share a copy of the note.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>You can use the search field to find and identify a note.
Refer to the Users manual for additional specifics on the different ways and
what is searchable in the notes list and within the note itself.
<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>When you create a new note the very first line becomes
the
title of your note in the notes list. It is recommended to make the first
line a
meaningful title.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Typing modes and the virtual keyboard –<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>There are three typing modes within VoiceOver
:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Standard typing mode<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>You touch and hear the key and then you single finger
double
tap in order for you to have the key entered into the field.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Touch typing mode<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>You explore the keyboard hearing the letter and then
raise
your finger and the letter is entered into the field.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Direct touch typing mode<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The key you touch, goes right into the edit
field.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Helpful hints regarding the virtual
keyboard:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Touch the shift key and then use the quadruple
single
finger tap to activate the caps lock or swipe your finger up from the bottom
invoking the action menu and listen to hear caps lock and then single finger
double tap to activate caps lock.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>In iOS 11 for the iPad – you can use the single finger
swipe
up invoking the action menu along the top row of letters to temporarily get
to
the numbers for that key. The example is typing an address where you need a
number but the remainder is letters. This saves you from having to swap out
the
keyboards.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>You can review the keyboard settings by going into
settings/general/keyboard.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Take note of the slide to type option. If this is
on
and you use touch typing style, you will be utilizing the feature
called
quick path/slide to type. It tries to predict the word just by you
sliding
your finger near the letters. When this feature came out, you either
practiced and love it or you turn it off.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>You can review the voice over typing style settings by
going
into setting/accessibility/voice over/typing style.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The rotor:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The rotor gives you the ability to navigate and take
actions
quickly and easily.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The options which you rotor through will change
dynamically
based on the app you are in and The position of your insertion point.
Additionally, some rotor items do not appear at all since you do not have
them
selected in your rotor options within Settings.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>You will want to add the ‘Text Selection’ item to your
Rotor
Options. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Go to settings/Accessibility/voiceover and Flick to the
rotor
options button.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Another way to get there faster is to use Siri and say
open
VoiceOver settings. Then flick to the right until you hear the rotor button
and
double tap rotor. This will open up the rotor settings
screen.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Use the rotor character, word and line options to move
your
insertion point to where you want to be in the text.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Use the text selection rotor option to identify text that
you
further want to use the edit rotor option to cut, copy or
paste.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Navigating and adding text:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Hints –<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Be very aware of your insertion point.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Use the rotor character, words, and line actions to
navigate
to position your insertion point exactly where you want to
edit.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>When you flick your finger straight down, you will be
moving
one character or one word or one line to the right. You will be at the end
of
the character or at the end of the word or at the end of the
line.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>When you flick your finger up, you will be at the
beginning
of the character or the word or the line.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Think of the delete key as the equivalent to the
backspace
key on a full keyboard. This key deletes one character to the left. know you
can
double tap and hold down the delete key to delete multiple characters all at
one
time. You need to be very careful with this as it is hard to gauge how much
you
are actually deleting. This can be a quick way to delete back to the
beginning.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>When the focus is with in the app (not on the virtual
keyboard), you can single finger double tap to move the insertion point to
the
beginning of the text and again single finger double tap to jump to the end
of
the text. This is a helpful shortcut especially when you feel you have lost
focus and don’t know where you are. Helps you to have a starting or ending
position to again navigate.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>When invoking text selection from the rotor(in order to
perform a cut/copy/paste activity), you will first want to position your
insertion point at the beginning of the character, word or line you want to
be
included in the selection.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>If using dictation as your mode of text entry, you can
and
should dictate punctuation.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>You can use any combination of dictation, typing,rotor
navigation and editing to accomplish your task. You will develop your own
style.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>These fundamental skills are very
important.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>You can use the skills in any edit field. This does not
just
apply to the Notes app.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Practice, practice, practice!<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<H2>Text Selection and Edit(Cut/Copy/Paste):<o:p></o:p></H2>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>Place your insertion focus point at the beginning of
the
text you want to be included in the selection.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>Turn the rotor to Text Selection.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>Use your finger swiping up or down to select the
selection
mode of character, words, lines etc. then swipe to the right to begin
selecting
your text. Keep swiping right until you have finished selecting your text.
If
you need to unselect text, you need to swipe to the left. Once you have
completed selecting your text, you now need to rotor to the edit feature.
You
need to decide what you are going to do with this text. Are you going to
copy or
cut? Cutting deletes the text from your note. Copying leaves the text in
your
note and places a copy to the invisible clipboard. Once your rotor to the
edit
feature, use one finger swiping up or down to get to the cut or copy item.
You
need to double tap your selection. If you decide to pick the copy feature,
you
must then determine where do you want to paste this copied text. You can
paste
the text into the existing note somewhere else or copy it to another app
such as
text messaging or email. Once you have determined where you will be copying
the
text to you need to have positioned your insertion point exactly where you
want
to paste the text. Then, rotor to the edit feature and swipe your finger up
or
down until you hear the paste item. You need to double tap the paste item.
This
will paste the copied text from the clipboard into the spot you have placed
your
insertion focus point.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>The Hadley I focus videos do a very good job of
describing
editing text and being able to select, cut copy and paste
text.<o:p></o:p></P>
