Navigating and Learning About New Environments With Scene Speak

8/15/2013

0 Comments

 
If your loved one or client will be attending a new school or program this year, try locating pictures of the campus or building compound (taking your own is ideal, but many can be found online) and use our Scene Speak app to create a virtual "map" for the individual to learn about their new environment. You can include locations of restrooms for those who may need to make frequent trips, drinkingfountains for those who may require extra hydration, and key places like offices, administrative buildings, classrooms (for those in school)...the possibilities are limited only by your imagination!
Picture
Many schools have generalized maps of their campuses available for viewing online. Use the Internet image search feature of the app to import in one of these images for reference.
Picture
To help the individual find their classroom, try using it in proximity to another familiar area of the school. This can be done by adding captions and/or hotspots.

For those who may be starting middle or high school, this can alleviate much of the stress that comes with trying to navigate class changes (if applicable), learning teacher names (these can be added as captions to the images), and juggling class schedules (which also can be imported into the app and labeled for easy reference).
Picture
Most schools, from elementary to college, now offer the capacity to view your class schedule online. Take a screen shot of the schedule and import it into the app, or take the hard copy and scan it for easy access.
Picture
Adding captions to images of new teachers can help the individual distinguish teachers of separate subjects and help them learn important details, like the teacher's name.
Start the year off smoothly by incorporating Good Karma Apps into your daily life experiences!
