[nobe-l] internet instructional ideas

[Ashley Bramlett]

David,

What is your current job, if any? I thought you taught high school.
Sometimes, I copy and paste things from the internet because the whole text 
is too much. I just pick out the basic terms and explanations.

Here are some sources so far.
For explanations of internet terms I see:
http://mason.gmu.edu/~montecin/netterms.htm

http://www.comentum.com/internet-terms.html
See the heading level 1 for that last website.

For sites to practice reading and navigation:

http://www.duxburysystems.com/braille.asp

http://www.valleybraille.com/braille.html

http://www.worldbraillefoundation.com/aboutbraille.htm

http://www.kidcyber.com.au/louis-braille/
I hope you all have ideas. Given the lack of computer textbooks for screen 
reader users and curriculums, I'm  sure this is a common question. Its like 
we have to invent the wheel and start from scratch planning.

Ashley

Hi Ashley and Kelsey!
I would like to do this exact same job. I have had all of these questions.
If you have more ideas, please share them. Thanks a lot for your comments so
far.

Hi Ashley,
I also considering tutoring assistive technology.  These are
great questions.  I think your idea of assigning a website and
having your student find a certain article is a solid one, but
another thing you might try is have your student find an article
about something they are interested in and write a summary about
it.  This would also give the student practice in using Word.
Regarding teaching materials, it's not exactly a textbook, but
Freedom Scientific has something called Surf's Up.  It's an
interactive guide that explains the concepts in a logical order
and the practice exercises use sample web pages.  I don't have
the exact web address, but if you go to Freedom Scientific's
webpage, I think it's under training.  Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Kelsey Nicolay
