Weekend Round-Up: Blogs and Elevators

By Ricky Buchanan • October 25, 2008

I thought today I’d tell you about some of the blogs I read.

These ones are, broadly, about special education. They often touch on assistive technology and sometimes Apple or Mac related stuff:

No Limits 2 Learning and No Limits 2 Life, by Lon Thornburg.

EdTech Solutions: Teaching Every Student, by Karen Janowski.

AllTogether, by Samuel Sennott.

Teaching Learners with Multiple Special Needs, by Kate Ahern.

SpeEd Change, by Ira Socol.

Access Technologists Higher Education Network, by a group of writers from ATHEN.

These ones are about other things than special education:

Multilingual Mac, by Tom Gewecke, covers using languages other than English with OS X.

Persistence Unlimited, by Brad Isaacs, mostly about goal setting and getting what you want out of life. It reminds me to never give up!

Hoyden About Town, by Lauredhel and Tigtog and others. It’s about … a lot of things. Some of them make me laugh, and some make me cry and almost all of them make me think, which is best of all.

What do you read when you’re not reading ATMac?

PS
Here’s a potential “elevator pitch” for ATMac - a description short enough that you could (theoretically) tell it to somebody you bumped into in an elevator:

For people who aren’t perfectly perfect in all respects, ATMac covers Macs, OS X, iPhones, iPods, and all things Apple.

Can you think of one?

Weekend Round-Up: See You In January 2009!

The ATMac team have been working hard all year and now we’re exhausted! We will be taking a break for Christmas and to come up with more great information and articles for you next year. There’ll also be a competition to give away some great software. We’ll be back in January, so don’t forget to check up on us.

AssistiveWare’s Giesbert Nijhuis Launches Apparel Line

I thought I’d pass on the news that MacWorld just published an interesting news item about one of our very own, Giesbert Nijhuis. Giesbert has started selling his own line of T-Shirts under the label, AssistiveWear. Congratulations Giesbert!

MacSpeech Dictate Global Commands List & Cheat Sheet for 1.2.1

MacSpeech Dictate is a great program but learning so many commands at once can be intimidating. I’ve put together two documents to help you learn and remember all the global commands found in Dictate version 1.2.1.

VoiceOver For Sighted Users

VoiceOver is a screen reader primarily used by blind Mac OS X users, but sighted people also use it for a variety of reasons, either for themselves or to better support a blind user. So, where would one start with learning to use it?

All I Want For Christmas Is Power!

Power’s what assistive technology gives us, really. The power to communicate, to read, to type, to plan, to play, to control things. The power to achieve things that we couldn’t otherwise achieve. Here are some ideas for gifts to empower assistive technology users.

Cleaning your Mac

Computers get dirty. Computers even get wet sometimes. They certainly get soiled despite the best of intentions. Even the most perfectly treated computers need occasional cleaning. Computers that are used all day, carried around, used with sticky fingers, used by multiple people, those ones are even more likely to need a good clean fairly often! Luckily, Apple’s online knowledgebase contains a wealth of articles about cleaning and disinfecting your iMac, Mac Mini, or MacBook.

Simple Keyboard Shortcuts To Save You Time

Keyboard shortcuts are a quick way of getting many things done without needing to access the menus or the mouse. If you know to press command-s to save your work, you’ve used a keyboard shortcut. For people who primarily use a keyboard or a switch interface, using keyboard shortcuts can save a lot of time and effort.

Getting Started With Mac OS X

All Mac users have been beginner Mac users at some point. Because the use of OS X is expanding so fast, there are a lot of new and inexperienced Mac users around at the moment. This is a wonderful thing for the Mac in general - it means there’s more users! Here’s some of the best resources I have to recommend to new Mac users.

Save Money Buying Mac Applications

Most of the software we review and recommend at ATMac is created by individuals or companies with just a few employees. This “indy” software, as it’s known, is usually available to be tested before you buy it and very reasonably priced but if you want a bunch of different pieces of software it can still add up quickly. How can you best save money when you’re buying software?

Right-clicking with a one-button mouse?

One of the numerous obstacles those of us with physical limitations face is how do we perform a right-click with a one-button mouse? Those that are able to use a physical keyboard can simply hold down the control key while clicking and that will emulate a right-click. But what about those of us who can’t use a physical keyboard or have trouble using one?
