How to enter foreign language characters on computers David Wilson , Equal Opportunities Department, Harton School, Lisle Road, South Shields NE34 6DL David Wilson's website David composed the following after polling languages teachers via the Linguanet discussion group. Methods Alt Codes ALT Key French Toolbar Spanish ... Other Methods Human Factors How we handle foreign character entry ourselves How we teach our pupils to handle foreign character entry Conclusion A. The Technology Modern operating systems and general-purpose word processors offer a veritable "embarras de choix" s far as foreign character entry is concerned. Here are some of the "workarounds" recommended and used by colleagues: 1. The "ALT Key" Method On all three UK platforms - PCs, Macs and Acorns - foreign characters can be generated in any application by combining the ALT key (on the left of the space bar) with single or multiple alphabetic or numeric keystrokes. For example, I am renewing my offer of target-language helpsheets with lists of PC ALT key codes for French and German characters. On the suggestion of one correspondent, a Spanish version is now in preparation. Please email me if you want them. I am particularly indebted to a correspondent who sent me a long list of 3-digit ALT codes for PC foreign character entry. I'll list the 3- and 4-digit PC codes at the end of this summary. 2.

Web Posted on: February 24, 1998 CSUN 98 Papers TEACH ME TO TALK Jo Meyer SoftTouch I am a teacher of preschool children with disabilities. I have been making software for the children in my classrooms for the last eight years. Over the past 23 years I have encountered many types of disabilities and many types of parents. The question I get from most parents is ?Can you teach my child to talk This question has haunted me for years. Every child communicates in some form whether it be by crying, body language, facial expressions or verbalization. Some children talk early, some late, some with augmentative communication devices, some not at all. As a teacher I wanted to facilitate the child learning language. Then came THE PARENT. (Now, you need to know, I love the parents of the children I teach.) This parent arrived on the scene with her son who had Down?s Syndrome. She wanted a piece of software with REAL photos, one on each screen with the word in text and the word spoken aloud. I looked at her and thought to myself, ?B-O-R-I-N-G. The child will NEVER respond to that.? But, I spent the next three weeks making a piece of simple software for her son to her specifications. While I was at it, I put 4-8 pictures on the screen as well. The simple program was finished and ready for her child to see. As I was presenting it, the other children in my classroom were pushing each other to get to the computer screen to touch that Touch Window and hear the word spoken again and again. I looked at these kids and was amazed. There was no music, no animation, nothing cute about this program at all, just real pictures with real words. I was stunned. I just watched the children. Within 10 minutes, several children who had never said a word in their life, made approximations of several words. I was hooked.

Press Releases June 2002 "Touch typing made easy. Introducing the TACTUS™ Keyboard… Arguably the most important innovation since the typewriter was invented" printer friendly version Arguably the most important innovation since the typewriter was invented. San Antonio, Texas - June 2002 - Tactus Keyboard Corporation has released a new keyboard which greatly facilitates the task of touch typing. The product was presented at the NECC2002 in San Antonio, Texas, and is available directly from the company. "Given the universal benefit that the TACTUS keyboard offers and the fact that the keyboard works for touch typists as well as two finger typists, there is no reason" said Alberto Sabato, inventor and founder of Tactus Keyboard Corporation, "why from now on, all computer keyboards should not be designed like TACTUS". The computer revolution has placed a computer in virtually every office and most homes. There are over 400 million computers in use worldwide. But most people cannot use the keyboard efficiently, that is, they cannot "touch type", in typist's language. They use the keyboard with the "hunt and peck" method, that is, they look at the keyboard, searching for the key they need and then "peck" on the required key. The hunt-and-peck method is inefficient and tasks can take well over four times the time that they should.

TEXT TRANSCRIPT Narrator: The family in a person's heritage are often very important to many people. But often when you move and settle into a new home in a new country, it can be hard to communicate to others about who you are and where you come from. That's why, as part of Susan Gaer's adult learning classes at Santa Ana College in California, the students are combing the learning of their new language skills with the use of technology to produce Web pages about a very important topic: themselves. Gaer: This is a Beginning One class; it's the first level of ESL that we have here at Centennial. There is a literacy and transition class that some students who have literacy problems go through prior to coming to Beginning One, but most of the students here do not speak English at all, but can read and write in their native language. Three-fourths of the students are Spanish-speaking, and the other fourth is Vietnamese, mostly in this class. I have two goals for this class: One is to improve their family life, and to help them with their children; the other one is to help them progress in their work skills. A lot of my students are housewives here, the women are housewives, and I would say probably three-fourths of the women are housewives. However, they do have children and they really want to know more than their children know as far as English skills and technology skills. So I teach both English and technology in the class. The class that you'll be observing today gets into the curriculum, after personal information, in the very beginning level. We talked about family relationships, and we talked about name and address. All the students will be taking a picture of themselves, using a QuickCam camera, which is a little camera, and they will be then writing a story about themselves, or their family. And the stories will then be printed out for them to take home. Actually, we use portfolio assessment, so I have folders for each student, and I put a copy in their folder. They'll take a copy home. And then I will put a copy for them on the Internet and give them the address so they can send it to their family back in Mexico or Vietnam, to view the story as well.

KEYBOARD DEBATE DECEMBER 27, 1995 TRANSCRIPT Elizabeth Farnsworth gets two perspectives on technology in the classroom. Damon Moore is an eighth grade science teacher, who serves on a national commission promoting training teachers with technology. Clifford Stoll is an astronomer, and author of Silicon Snake Oil: Second Thoughts on the Information Highway. Stoll is skeptical of technology's promise. ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Now, Thank you both for being with us. Clifford Stoll, you just heard that glowing report. What's wrong with it? CLIFFORD STOLL: (San Francisco) It'sthey're all over the place. There's this wonderful feeling that, wow, computers make learning fun, it's going to be wonderful out there, students have lots of information and boy, they're going to be really smart. But there's this wide gulf between information, which computers provide lots of, and knowledge, which computers provide none of. Moreover ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Wait, let me interrupt you a minutewhy can't they provide knowledge? Why is not reading and learning about say the Odyssey via computer as good as reading, reading it in a book? MR. STOLL: Because reading the original Odyssey means turning pages and reading it. Very few, if any, people read the Odyssey on a computer screen. You just can't read more than three or four pages. Yeah, you can turn it into a game. You can turn into a multimedia, gosh, wow, I'm going to go from here to there and have a lot of fun while prowling around on maps, but are you reading the text, or have you simply marginalized and pushed aside the reading and the thinking part and turned it into a game?

TODAY'S TECHNOLOGY OFFERS OPTIMISIM FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM TO LIVE AN INDEPENDANT LIFE Reprinted from the ADVOCATE Newsletter of the Autism Society of America, Inc. July-Aug 1996. During a visit to Disney World, I viewed an exhibit that demonstrated many computerized applications. It struck me that this technology offers the opportunity for our children with autism to have an optimistic view of an independent future. It was at that time that I began to include computerized-based learning in my son's program as well as in the programs of the other autistic children that I work instruct. It is my opinion both as a professional in the field and as a parent of a child with autism that the implementation of computer learning in our children's' lives is an extremely effective method for teaching language and academic skills as well as for developing the abilities needed to live in this computer-oriented society. As a speech pathologist, I have predominantly utilized software that is designed to teach communication and early reading skills. I recently received two software programs each developed by the parent of an autistic child.

Plugged In E-mail This To A Friend Computer Accessories Just For Kids For years software companies have produced computer software especially for children. Programs exploring everything from math to music have been created by educators, parents, and software developers to teach children basic skills and introduce them to computers. Although young children are now expected to use computers both at home and in school, the traditional computer system is clearly designed for adults. The bland beige hardware are hardly attention grabbers, and the adult- sized keyboard and mice are too large and confusing for young children to effectively use. New companies are recognizing kids' hardware as a potential market and are creating products to meet the desires and needs of young children. Input devices from handheld mice and trackballs to keyboards that work with their own software are arriving on the scene to make kids’ computing a more colorful, comfortable experience. For Your Youngest Many computer enthusiasts cannot wait to introduce their children, even their infants, to the world of computers. But how do you teach an 18-month-old baby to manipulate a mouse?

As with anything new, you should expect a period of adjustment with Windows 95. Experienced users familiar with Windows 3.1 conventions even may take longer to learn the Win95 ropes than new users. Though Win95 retains some familiar features of MS-DOS and Windows 3.1, it’s largely different. Here are a few tips and tricks to help you learn about what’s old and new in Win95. Learn To Do Windows The best place to start learning about Win95 is in its Help system. Rather than reading boring text, you actually get to click buttons and start programs called Wizards, which will help you install hardware or diagnose problems. You’ll find yourself coming back again and again to Win95 Help. As you work in Win95, take time to right-click icons and learn more about their properties. Also right-click text and controls in dialog boxes to learn more about what they do. You’ll learn about many features that aren’t described in the manuals or in the Help system.

Buxton Proposed Classification U.S. CL. 341/022 Intl. CL. H03k 17/94 Systems with graphical user interfaces (GUIs) are often called direct manipulation Systems. One way to improve such systems is to provide more versatile input mechanisms in order to improve the range and directness of the manipulations the user can perform. Touch tablets have been shown to be very useful in increasing the range of direct manipulation actions a user is able to perform when interacting with a GUI. In particular, two techniques have been developed for expanding the versatility of touch tablets as direct manipulation input devices. One such technique involves the concept of partitioning the touch sensitive surface of the tablet into multiple locations, or input windows , analogous to windows on a display screen, in order to create multiple virtual input devices. Touch actions on the surface of the tablet are interpreted differently depending on where each touch occurs, and thus a single touch tablet input device can serve to function as a number of virtual input devices.

April 2003 Home Current Issue Back Issues Article Search ... Marketing Info. Elementary Computer Skills Training By Peter Draus, Ph.D., University of Pittsburgh March 2002 - Feature The CLIP Program Provides an Intensive Approach to Teaching Computer Skills to First-Graders Local elementary schools are moving away from setting up computer labs in favor of getting computers into classrooms. Unfortunately, this doesn't leave teachers with much of an area to teach students how to use the computers as a group. The CLIP (Computer Literacy by Intensive Preparation) program was developed to meet this need - to initiate first-grade students to the computer and its use in a single day. Walsh University in North Canton, Ohio, developed the CLIP program as a pilot project with a small elementary school in an adjacent county. The program consists of first-graders who, along with a parent or guardian, come to the university for a day of intensive training on computers set up to match the software load the students use at their school. SIZE=4> Program Goals The CLIP program has been running for two years. It was designed to partner with local elementary schools that have computers in the classroom, but don't have a central computer lab for initial student training. The program's goal is to bring first-graders to a computer lab equipped with a data projector and prepare them to use the computer, rather than to learn any piece of software in depth. This enables the school district to focus its resources on providing computers in the classroom, rather than in a central computer lab. In moving away from computer labs, teachers find it difficult to teach basic computer skills to an entire group of students with only one or two computers in the classroom. The CLIP program lets students work on classroom computers by themselves, without the time-consuming, one-on-one teacher training needed at their own schools.

ARTICLE GUIDE Professional Development Center Archives: VIEW ALL ARTICLES The Arts ... Technology Curriculum Article C U R R I C U L U M A R T I C L E Keyboarding Skills: When Should They Be Taught? With an enormous computer presence in schools, the question is no longer whether to teach keyboarding but when to teach it. President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore have challenged the nation to ensure that all children are technologically literate by the 21st century. A "pillar" of this challenge is, "Modern computers and learning devices will be accessible to every student." With computers accessible to every student, most teachers and experts in education say the teaching of keyboarding is a given. But when is the best age to teach students proper keyboarding technique? THE BEST AGE? "Most research supports starting students on formal keyboarding around grade 4," says Theresa Tovey, occupational therapist in Region #4 (Chester, Deep River, and Essex) in Connecticut. "All kids do not have the eye-hand motor coordination to learn keyboarding skills earlier than that." "That isn't to say that nothing can be done with keyboarding before grade 4," Tovey continues. "It's good for students to get familiar with the keyboard in the earlier grades. We encourage students to pretend there's a line down the middle of the keyboard and to keep the right hand to the right of the line and the left hand to the left. We also encourage them to type with more than one finger because they may tend to use just the index finger. For later instruction, it's good for students to develop the habit of using more than one finger early on."
