Activity 14.1

Activity 1 - Accessibility Features of Windows

Task 1:

Open a new Word document and type a short postcard style message using the onscreen keyboard.

This is good fun, just like on a phone. Seems easy to use, just slower  that a keyboard. I think my finger has had enough now!

Task 2:

Switch on Windows Magnifier and read the article on the Island of Tuvalu using the magnifier pane.

Seems a little disorientating at first, after a few minutes I got into it and now seems quite good. Wouldn't use it though

Task 3:

Using the Windows Magnifier have a go at completing the interactive drag and drop exercise on Cheese Types.

Once again rather disorientating, hard to keep track on where you are on the screen.

Task 4:

Attempt to complete the interactive Word document on Rivers using ONLY shortcut keystrokes. 

Very difficult as I have never used such shortcuts, needed to use the help section to work out how to do it. I don't think it would take too long to master though.
