Un iPad, le funzioni di accessibilità a disposizione e Pages: costruiamo un workbook con accorgimenti utili a compensare difficoltà o disturbi? Una sola applicazione, Pages, può raccogliere, far elaborare, stimolare e supportare al meglio un processo di apprendimento personalizzato. Tutti sono nella classe, tutti possono realizzare il proprio lavoro. Attenzione, percezione, ragionamento sono così facilitati nel percorso di memorizzazione. Predisponiamo un workbook insieme?
Grazie a Simone Mignami (esperto di accessibilità per il Canton Ticino), ci concentreremo principalmente sulla creazione di Form Accessibili, croce e delizia di ogni visitatore, ma che se progettati male possono diventare un campo minato per gli utenti svantaggiati.
