Thank you Denise, Eric & Zephyr,<div>The boys started school Wednesday. All the 5th graders in our district will be issued iPads in the next few weeks (good prep for middle school, where all the kids 6-7th grade) will be issued iPads. To up the ante & add to our challenge, Vejas started 10th & his intro to iPad use in school will be in Spanish, mostly off a website called <a href="http://www.wordchamp.com">www.wordchamp.com</a> ( I'm still not sure if I should use a :-) or a :-( yet )</div>
<div><br></div><div>A few clarifications: I suspect that reading bookshare & webbraille ebooks will still be more efficient using the intrinsic BrailleNote, rather than Read2Go (if there is any advantage to the Read2Go APP in this situation, please let me know).</div>
<div><br></div><div>I saw your YouTube Read2Go video Denise (nice - Thx). Will Read2Go also read books purchased on iBooks via the iTunes Store?</div><div><br></div><div>Based on my surfing the net so far, I've gotten mixed messages about iBooks. Voice over seems to read them fine, but can Books purchased on the iTunes Store be read with fingers on a Braille display (specifically an Apex in our case)?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks again for everyones thoughts, assistance, & insights as we try to climb our steep learning curve as the school year begins.</div><div>Sincerely,</div><div>Eric & the V Family</div><div><br>

<div>Hi. I have been on the road all week, and still am. I have copied Amy
Mason on this message, as she is a very capable and knowledgeable technology
specialist at the National Center and can probably assist you greatly. I am
certain that your questions are shared by several on this list, yours truly
being in that number. A great weekend to everyone. </div>
