Early Learning I: Learning Shapes
The Learning Shapes program familiarizes the student with up to 12
common shapes. When the student is using the keyboard, the teacher
or parent should place the shapes overlay on the keyboard with the
circle over the "1" key or the "X" key.
The lower levels allow the student to see the shapes displayed on
the screen and to see the effects of pressing the labeled shape
keys. On the higher levels, the student is asked to match the shape
on the screen with a shape on the keyboard. At first a specific
shape is shown, later the computer asks the student to pick it out
from among several shapes.
When a correct answer is given, the program displays the answer at
the bottom of the screen. If a wrong answer is given, the answer is
shown on screen, the student is corrected and given another chance
to answer. After a specified number of wrong answers is given, the
student is shown the correct answer and allowed to try again.
Learning Shapes can be set to drill the student on any of 3
different sets of 4 shapes each or a set of either 8 or 12 shapes.
Additionally, shape pictures can be substituted for the default
shapes. This activity is for the student who has mastered the basic
shapes and understands that, for example, an orange can be thought
of as a circle even though it is not perfectly round.
Interface Options:
Supports keyboard, mouse, touch screen, IntelliKeys, and single- or
dual-switch input.
Single- and
dual-switch scanning are built-in (6 different ways), and special
prompts allow blind students to use all levels of difficulty.
