Using the On-Screen Keyboard

Have you used the On-Screen Keyboard, one of the Accessibility features found in Windows?  You can drag it over to where your student's text is located on the screen so the student can view it while it's close to the text they've written on the computer.

You can use the regular keyboard at the same time you use the mouse to click letters/symbols, in case an adult or other student is taking turns using the keyboard to write while the first student writes with the mouse.

Now that I have Windows 7 I can enlarge the On-Screen Keyboard to increase its visability; an improvement over past versions.

    I didn't know about this feature. I will definitely try it out! Thanks for sharing!

Please share positive ideas for helping students in public schools. Use other blogs and listservs for venting or discussing anything other than ideas for helping students, school staff and parents. Thanks.
