Students can use CTRL + and CTRL - to adjust webpages (using the screen magnifier may be a more appropriate choice usually). Google apps like Pages, Slides, and Sheets, unlike regular web pages, adjust the toolbar up to a pretty large zoom, so you don’t have to scroll sideways to access the toolbar.Settings: To access settings, click the status area, where your account picture appears in the bottom right. Then click “Settings.”Wallpaper:Click “Set Wallpaper” and choose a high contrast color, such as black or gray, to help the user see the icons on the bottom of the screen.Possibly Adjust Display Settings: Consider not changing the screen resolution or only making a slight change if you plan to use the screen magnifier because the image quality will be worse if you adjust the resolution. You can use the screen magnifier to access small icons. The main benefit of adjusting the resolution is making the icons on the bottom bar larger. Adjusting the resolution may mess up how certain apps or web pages appear.Click “Display Settings” (underneath “Device”) and adjust it as desired to a lower resolution. Use Advanced Settings: Click the status area, where your account picture appears in the bottom right.Click Settings > Show advanced settings.Use advanced settings to set internet font size and click customize (these may need to be adjusted because it may cause some issues with apps). If you will be using the screen magnifier, consider not setting the font on the biggest level so that web pages appear properly and you have to do less zooming in and out between the huge text on the web page and small toolbar icons.Accessibility Settings (That may be helpful depending on the student’s vision):Show accessibility options in system menu Large mouse pointerHigh contrastEnable screen magnifierTo use the screen magnifier:Zoom in: Press Ctrl + Alt + Brightness up .Zoom out: Press Ctrl + Alt + Brightness down . or Optional: Press Ctrl + Alt and scroll with two fingers up to zoom in, or down to zoom out.Extensions:Under Settings > Advanced > Accessibility, click “Add additional accessibility features” and appropriate extensions, such as high contrast and color filters. You can do the same thing by just Googling “high contrast extension” and “color enhancer.” Look up the key command information for your extensions to easily manipulate them. Readability or other web reading extensions: This enables you to take just the article or important text off a web page and remove the other clutter. You can use it to easily adjust the font size on an article (it also has a high contrast setting).

Website Ideas for Screen Magnification Practice with Young StudentsNote: It is an excellent idea to preview the websites and games so that your student doesn’t get frustrated with games that are too difficult with their vision.Why Do I Believe Internet Games Are Great Practice for Screen Magnification?They keep things fun and engaging for the student.If you pick the right games, your sessions can reinforce what they are learning in the classroom, such as reading or math skills, including academic IEP goals.Games usually give reason to practice key commands as you zoom in and out to get the right size for navigating and playing the game.Games reinforce mouse skills. You can help the child become more comfortable with websites they commonly use in class. Just getting to a website and navigating it reinforces important computer concept s (launching the Internet browser and entering the website address or possibly using search or favorites, and understanding concepts of common website layouts).- Fun educational games and other “just for fun” games that reinforce mouse skills for grades Pre-K through 5.BBC Dance Mat Typing () – This is a great introduction to typing that can be fairly low vision friendly if you zoom it in to the desired size (you may need to also use CTRL + and – so that it doesn’t get too grainy). Depending on the degree of vision loss, the teacher may have to move the mouse along the text. - This website has both educational math games and many “just for fun games.” - This website has many educational games and online books. Reading the online books can be excellent screen magnification practice.National Geographic () – This is a great source for science and social studies games, articles, and videos. The articles may be good reading activities for students with a higher reading level than some of the other sites mentioned., , and - These TV channel websites are highly motivating and visually complex. It’s great practice to navigate the website with screen magnification on higher and then zoom out when you don’t need as much magnification for the game. - This website has great games for early reading and math, as well as fun games such as holiday related activities. Because many things on every page are interactive, including in the interactive books, a child can get lots of great mouse skills practice. Because most things on the page are already large, it’s a good place to have the student zoom out some and experience success using the magnification program.- Find basic online books on nearly any subject or create your own. Preview the books in order to ensure they are written correctly because they are made by students. This is a great site for older students who are still beginning readers to find topics that are more interesting to them. Having the student read the text, explore the pictures, and click the proper buttons with screen magnification works great.And So Much More- Your school and/or public library may have memberships for other helpful sites. I intentionally left off websites that require paid memberships. Classroom teachers are using new websites all the time. It works great to use ones that the student is using in class.Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired Short-Term Programs(Contributed by Kathi Garza)Basic Computer Skills AssessmentStudent:Pre-Test:Teachers:Post-Test:Goal: Will improve technology knowledge and skills as related to visualneed by demonstrating increased ratings between pre- and post- testing onthe following objectives: Objective 1: Increase knowledge of computer concepts Objective 2: Increase ability to navigate the computer and documents using a screen reader and keyboard commands Objective 3: Increase ability to word process using a screen reader and keyboard commands Key:+ = Demonstrates skillA = Demonstrated some awareness in pre-test> = Shows some improvementN = Not addressed -- = Does not demonstrate skill E = Exposed/introduced skill Note: Assessed competency at post-test reflects student’s ability to perform the skill on the fifth day of intensive training, within the training context.
