Lefty It Is Hard To Be Left Handed

It has been carfully planned and constructed in a simple and conscise manner making it easy for anybody to follow. I can present it to an audience

This article focuses on the many forms of technology in relation to special education. The article discusses the “high” and “low” forms of technology that is available for students with special needs to help “bypass” or “compensate” for their disabilities. The article goes on to survey the current status of assistive technology for the special education population. In the end, the article uncovers that the use of assistive technology for the special education population is promising though uncertain. Assistive technology has proven to be beneficial for students with learning disabilities, as it would empower them to work beyond their normal capabilities (Lewis, 1998).

With new technology comes new ways to let disabilied people use more items. An example is, voice recognition screen readers can help peole who are blind. For instance, eye-tracking programs can make using computers simple for people who can´t move their hands.

8th. Details of the project can be found on Canvas. This project is to be completed in groups of 4 to 6

Technologies can be selected and so they can best meet the needs of the students who are differently abled.

There has been a recent outrage by a woman named Miriam Zeigler, this pent up anger over the course of many years had finally burst once her article was published by The Age on May 6th 2010. Her opinion piece entails her experience over the years of being a left hander, and the everyday discriminations she faces. This entire piece was sparked by her encounter at the supermarket, when she went to sign her receipt and it was angled to the right, causing her the inconvenience of having to move it to the left side. She believes that our ‘right-handed society’ needs to cater more to the left-handers of the world, as they are tired of the discrimination and wish to be treated fairly, and not as a mockery. She makes her appeal to the right-handers of the world trying to raise their awareness on this issue, she gathers this audience to make right-handers understand their ‘privilege’ and their everyday rudeness towards left-handers. Her tone in her first paragraph starts off peaceful however, in a quick tonal shift she becomes quite aggressive in her voice. Throughout the piece, excluding the seemingly

Name at least three items that could be considered AT and describe how those devices could support a student with a disability in the classroom.

Nearly all colleges and universities have adopted some form of anti-discrimination/harassment policies. These policies are meant to ensure that no student will be discriminated against due to race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age or disability. Many universities have adopted more specific policies regarding “hate speech” which prohibits speech or conduct that creates an intimidating, hostile, or an offensive educational environment towards minorities, women, gays and lesbians, and the disabled. The problem with universities enforcing a strict speech code is that it is often a vague policy that in itself is discriminatory as it violates The First Amendment. The case of Omar Mahmood, a student at the University of Michigan who was disciplined for writing a satirical article, “Do the Left Thing” illustrates the problems with these types of policies.

In this artifact, I researched for alternative technological tool(see Assistive technology.doc) for students with disabilities to represent how technology could be a great assistance for them. This assignment represents how technology could be used by all students no matter what they need. Therefore, in this assignment, I looked for tools and ways to implement access to technology resources for students who have neuromuscular difficulties, and/or difficulties of counting with her finger to show that there are varieties of technological tool for all the needs.

When you hear the word “sinistra”, what word does it sound close to? It sounds closely to the word “sinister” and with that you think sinistra means dark or evil. However, sinistra’s meaning has no thing to do with darkness or evil; it is Latin for left or left handed. With this misunderstanding of the word sinistra and other reasons, left-handed people faced years of social and religious oppression. Hello, I’m Josh Haxton a lefty and I have always been curious about the history of left handers. Through my research, I was able to end by curiosity. Today I’m going to inform you of the history of left-handedness and famous left-handed people in history.

My invention would be called the NeverLand Ink. This invention would be the size of a normal pen and it looks like a normal pen, but it is not a normal pen. The ink in the pen never runs out, hence the name NeverLand Ink, since, on Neverland, you don’t grow up or die, allowing the ink supply in the pen to never run out. Everyone would be able to go out and buy this pen. The Neverland Ink solves the problem of having too many disposable ink pens. Once those disposable pens run out of ink, we throw them away, but not the Neverland Ink. The materials used to make the NeverLand Ink is like any other pen, but it takes the oxygen, carbon dioxide, and the water molecules in the air, and transfers them into a carbonic acid allowing the NeverLand Ink

Living and learning with assistive technologies (AT) for disabled people is allowing them to lead virtually normal lives. Assistive technology in action videos I have recently watched introduced me to 3 people who are being assisted by this cutting edge technology.

What is the effect of using your dominate hand vs your non-dominant hand when testing sensitivity? The purpose of answering this question is to help scientists understand if your hand dominance affects your sensitivity. One reason I chose this topic is because I have previously seen a similar experiment in a museum, and I would like to test one of my own. Another reason I chose this topic is because I am very interested in the outcome. I hope to discover if hand dominance influences sensitivity. This project will test your dominant hand vs your non – dominant hand when testing sensitivity.

First, The left side is The United States of America. That is why it has a United States flag. The Right side of the mural is Russia’s side. That is why it has the Russian flag. I am going to start on the United States side.

In "Why do Most Mothers Cradle their Baby in their Left Arms?" Desmond Morris describes four possible explanation for mothers to cradle their babies in their left arms. The obvious explanation is the majority are right-handed and they wish to keep their right hands free. However, left-handed mothers also hold their babies on their left side. The most likely explanation is that babies heard sound in the womb. Since the mother heart is on the left, she's bringing the baby closer to her heart which gives the baby a sense of peace, comfort, and security. Another possible explanation is the two sides of the brain are connected with different aspects. Since emotions are more expressed on the left side of the face. Therefore, mothers cradle their
