In the past, when we needed to create accessible worksheets for our students, we would scan the worksheet into Adobe Acrobat on our computers and add form fields before sending it over to the iPad (via Dropbox) for our students to use. Now, with PDF Office, we snap a picture of the worksheet and add form fields right from the iPad. The app is easy to use and has a host of other great features to support students' specific needs. It has options to change the view from black text on a white background, to white text on a black background, and sepia, allowing you to accommodate students with specific vision needs. It also provides bimodal text to speech to help struggling readers or students with visual impairments. Of course, a full range of annotation tools are available so the student can write or type into the document, add notes, highlight text, and insert pictures and links.
We have used a number of PDF apps to access and annotate worksheets, but this is the first one we have found that enables us to insert form fields for those students who struggle with fine motor skills.
The app is FREE!! for a limited time, so download it today and try it out!
