Video run time: 8:36
Text:
Sharon: From the Home screen
it will tell you which App is selected.
Now to move the choice, you can start
anywhere at the top of the screen,
move your finger down.
VoiceOver: Calendar, double-tap to oh-.
Videos, double-tap to open.
Settings, double-tap to open.
iPad: [bonk, bonk, bonk, bonk, bonk…]
Sharon: And when you hear the “bonk, bonk”
that means there’s no choice under your finger.
Now as I’m doing this, I am touching the screen,
and I am leaving my finger on the screen.
I am not lifting it. I am gonna touch the screen again
Anywhere, and I’m going to slowly go up. [Bonk, bonk, bonk….]
[Bonk, bonk, bonk....]
VO: iTunes, Notes--double-tap to open.
Sharon: Now I’m back at the top of my screen.
I want to once more go down it doesn’t matter
which App it lands on. I’m going to move my finger
down while holding the screen—
VO: Contacts— Sharon: And when—
VO: double-tap to open.
Sharon: And when it reads Contacts,
I know I’m on the top row of my Home screen.
Now I can choose to move right or left
with the gesture. If I take my finger,
one finger and I flick or quickly move it to the right—
VO: Notes, Maps, double-tap to open.
Sharon: It moves it to the next available
App on your right. If I take one finger and
I touch and flick it to the left,
VO: Notes, Contacts, Calendar,
double-tap to open.
Sharon: It moves it to the left and I can make
any of those choices. Now if I move it to the
right again from the top row
VO: Contacts—double-tap to open.
Sharon: by flicking with one finger,
by flicking with one finger to the right—
VO: Notes, Maps, Videos, YouTube, iTunes,
App Store, Settings, Game Center--double-tap to open.
Sharon: It will move through every available
icon on the screen. Likewise if I take my finger
and swipe or flick to the left, it will go back up
through every available App.
VO: Settings, App Store, iTunes, YouTube, Videos—
Sharon: Now— VO: double-tap to open.
Sharon: Now sometimes you don’t want
to go that slowly. So there are quicker ways to do this.
If I take two fingers and I touch the tablet
and I flick up, it’s going to start reading
from the top of the screen, so let’s listen to that.
VO: Calendar, Contacts, Notes, Maps, Videos,
YouTube, iTunes, App Store, Settings,
Game Center, page one of five.
Safari, Dock, Mail--32 new items, photos, iPod, [bonk].
Sharon: And it will stop when there’s no more
on the screen and the iPod is the last choice.
You might have heard it say “Dock.”
Because there’s a Dock at the bottom of this screen.
Now I’m going to move it back up to one
of the choices by flicking to my left.
VO: Photos, Mail--32 new items, Safari, page one of five.
Game Center, Settings--double-tap to open.
Sharon: Now I’m in the middle of my screen.
Or somewhere in my screen I know there are more Apps
that I can get to by going to the left and there’s more
I can get to by flicking to the right. Now I’m gonna
take two fingers and I’m going to swipe or flick
them down on the screen. And what that does
is it reads from exactly where I am on the screen.
VO: Settings, Game Center, page one of five,
Safari, Dock, Mail—32 new items, Photos, iPod.
Sharon: So if I take two fingers and swipe or flick up,
it starts from the very top of the screen and reads down.
If I take two fingers and swipe down it starts from
wherever the selection is on the iPad.
So that’s one and two ways to navigate,
you can flick right or left with one finger—
VO: Photos, Mail—32 new items, double-tap Photos—
Sharon: You can go back and forth or
you can take two fingers flick it up.
VO: Calendar, Contacts, Notes, Maps, Videos.
[Bonk.]
Sharon: Now to stop it at anytime you just press
the iPad screen one time with one finger.
OK and that reads from the top and if you flick
down with two fingers—I unselected everything—
let me find something. [Bonk, bonk, bonk....]
VO: iTunes--double-tap to open.
Sharon: And I’ll flick down with two fingers.
VO: iTunes, App Store, Settings, Game Center,
page one of five, Safari, Dock, Mail—3
2 new items, Photos, iPod. [bonk]
Sharon: The nice thing about these gestures
is they’re consistent and you’re screens stay consistent.
The Calendar will always be on the top
left-hand portion of the iPad screen.
The iPod choice for music will always be on the
bottom right part of the screen. And so after
awhile the student will get used to where
the icon is placed for the different Apps.
And they’ll be able to start from the top,
see how many rows they have by simply
moving their finger down—
VO: Calendar—double-tap to open,
Videos--double-tap to open. Settings--
double-tap to open. [Bonk, bonk, bonk…]
Sharon: And once they hear that sound,
the bonking, that’s how many Apps are
on the screen that are available to them.
The Dock is only available on the Home screen.
And as I go down by touching and
slowly dragging the finger—
VO: [Bonk, bonk, bonk....] Page 1 of 5, Dock,
Safari—double-tap to open.
Sharon: You’ll hear it say how many pages
are available, you’ll hear it say “Dock”
and then the application choice.
Now to move it said one of five,
to move to the different pages I’m going
to take three fingers, and I’m going to swipe it
like I would the pages of a book.
If I wanna go backwards in the book,
I swipe from left to right touching the screen.
VO: Page 1 of 5.
Sharon: And it says it’s on 1 of 5.
Now if I want to go through the book,
or through the screens to the right,
I take my three fingers, touch it and swipe to the left.
VO: Page 2 of 5, ABC player—
double-tap to open—
Sharon: Once again I’ll take my three
fingers and swipe to the left.
VO: Page 3 of 5, Pocket Frogs—double-tap to open—
Sharon: And once again take 3 fingers—swipe it to the left.
VO: Page 4 of 5, Glow Hockey—double-tap to open.
Sharon: And since we can go one direction,
we know we can go the opposite direction,
so you take your three fingers and you touch
and swipe it to the right.
VO: Page 3 of 5, Pocket Frogs—double-tap to open.
Sharon: Once again I’m going to take the three fingers
and swipe to the right—
VO: Page 2 of 5, ABC player—
double-tap to open.
Sharon: OK and if I want to
figure out what’s on the screen
the easiest way is to take
the two fingers and
swipe up and let it read the Apps
that are available on the screen.
VO: ABC Player, Blue Block,
CBS News, Compass, EverNote,
Google—31 new items, Grand Velosity, ???
Molecules, Montezuma, NASA, Pandora, Planets,
Mobile Noter, Weather Bug, Weather HD, ???,
Amazon, Dot Com, page 2 of 5, Safari, Dock,
Mail—32 new items, Photos, iPod.
Sharon: And I made a mistake earlier—
the Dock is always on the bottom, it doesn’t
matter what page you’re on. Now you’ll notice
there are more Apps on this page, because there are—
Home page stays the same. But as you add
an App it places itself in columns and rows
on the other pages.
Now that went down through them
and then you can simply take
one finger and flick to the left—
VO: Photos, Mail—32, Safari,
page 2 of 5, Amazon, Dock, Grocery G—
Sharon: And each time I swipe—
VO: —double-tap to open.
Sharon: I’m moving back up, and that is how
you’re going to locate the Apps that you want to use.
