@theipodteacher You are a true trailblazer! Is anyone else that you know of doing the same project with EC kids? #storyappchat Mon, 22 Apr 2013 01:47:40 +0000 What about page turning? I've had some parents w/ tell me their kid needs arrows, not swipe or vice-versa for physical reasons #storyappchat Mon, 22 Apr 2013 01:48:04 +0000 how about ebooks with live links to video examples or added detail to choose when you're interested? #storyappchat Mon, 22 Apr 2013 01:48:49 +0000 @iPad_storytime I have heard that too--arrows seem to work so much better. Swipes for page turning easy to mess up! #storyappchat Mon, 22 Apr 2013 01:49:05 +0000 RT @DavidBFox: My favorite way of learning was through experimentation... trial and error, logic, seeing what worked. #storyappchat Mon, 22 Apr 2013 01:49:29 +0000 RT @DavidBFox: No surprise the game I'm working on totally fits that style of learning @RubeGoldbergApp #storyappchat Mon, 22 Apr 2013 01:49:32 +0000 Do you all make your book apps accessible for visually-impaired using VoiceOver? #storyappchat Mon, 22 Apr 2013 01:49:48 +0000 RT @DavidBFox: No surprise the game I'm working on totally fits that style of learning @RubeGoldbergApp #storyappchat Mon, 22 Apr 2013 01:50:25 +0000 @tampamom Tell us more about VoiceOver--I haven't heard of it #storyappchat Mon, 22 Apr 2013 01:50:29 +0000 We had a blind user contact us about using Story Dice with her daughter, so we added VoiceOver to all of our apps. #storyappchat Mon, 22 Apr 2013 01:50:52 +0000 @brooks_jones especially for younger kids, or if there are a lot of things to touch/interact w/on the screen #storyappchat Mon, 22 Apr 2013 01:51:03 +0000 Here's the Apple info on VoiceOver http://t.co/pb6JtqyOfQ #storyappchat Mon, 22 Apr 2013 01:51:47 +0000 VoiceOver - instructions?
