The assistive technology tool that I reviewed is the on-screen magnifier. This tool is really helpful for those students who have impaired vision. They can use the magnifier to increase the size of any text that the cursor is over. This helps them with reading assignments on the computer as well as typing papers. By making everything larger for them, they can spend less time struggling to read and can better keep up with the rest of the class.
As you can see, students have a number of different settings available to them while using the magnifier. They can dock the magnifier to a specific side of the screen or have it move freely. They can also change the view to a negative color option. This might help students with color sensitivity.
