[Pibe-division] VoiceOver-Accessible Graphing Calculator App

Tue Oct 1 18:42:25 UTC 2013

On the APH graphing calc, it also has a component to hook to a large monitor so anything displayed comes out on the large monitor...it also can be embossed for blind.... all my older students--middle school and beyond are using them with these different variables so have not tried any apps

The development of the APH talking graphing calculator in conjunction with Texas Instruments has sparked a wide interest and hopefulness among teachers that this very portable solution will be a great benefit to our students. I look forward to checking out product demonstrations when I attend the annual meeting in Louisville later this month. I am glad for the iOS talking scientific calculator, but could certainly understand how there are added complexities to making graphing calculator applications accessible. Let's keep each other posted.

>Dear
All,
>>There
are a variety of Graphing Calculator apps in the app store.
>>If
any of you has experience with these, I’d greatly appreciate your input on
which one works well/the best with VoiceOver? It's for use in high school
Algebra.
>>If
you have experience with a good/functional app, then how does it compare to a
more traditional, non-iOS based Graphing Calculator device?
>>Thank
you for any responses in advance.
