WSSB would like to thank IntelliTools for their strong support of this project.  IntelliTools Classroom Suite is required to use the activities listed below.

Activities for Teachers of the Visually Impaired

Training materials for teachers of the visually impaired have been developed for the BrailleNote®, BrailleNote GPS®, JAWS®, and the Literary Braille Code.  The activities are interactive; the user is presented with information on the software or device, and then has the option of taking a quiz and testing their knowledge.  Records can easily be kept of the student's progress.  The materials can have applications with distance education programs.  IntelliTalk 3® is required for these activities.

Braille Activities (Can be used with IntelliTactiles® USB from APH)

Three activities on the Literary Braille Code are included in this download:

• Braille Alphabet IntelliTalk 3® activity

These activities will only work with the USB version of IntelliTactiles®.  IntelliTactiles USB® can be purchased from the American Printing House for the Blind.  www.aph.org  800-223-1839

BrailleNote® GPS IP3

The purpose of the BrailleNote® GPS IP3 activity is to help students and orientation and mobility instructors learn the commands in the classroom, before taking the BrailleNote® GPS out on the street.  The information is presented, and then there is a quiz over that information.  One overlay is required for this activity; print it, laminate, and Braille label it.  IntelliPics Studio 3® is required to use this activity.  Overlay Maker® is required to print the overlay.
