Looking for educational activities for students to do at home before school starts? Does your student need to build solid tech skills - especially if remote instruction continues? Will you have a new student this year who will be introduced to an iPad/iPhone?

Here are some posts to help you and your student get started or fine tune their iOS VoiceOver gestures! Note: The posts below specifically address teaching and practicing the physical iOS gesture. There are numerous age-appropriate apps that can be used to practice and apply these gestures.
