Organize Your Life Using the Ipod Touch: Making Cognitive Connections at Home, school, and work
Thanks to the success of the previous Windows Mobile-based books, we have added an iPod Touch book as the newest book in the Making Cognitive Connections series.
The iPod Touch book focuses on the following topics:
- Making Cognitive Connections
- iPod Touch Basics
- The Clock App
- The Calendar App
- The Contacts App
- The Notes App
- Synchronizing with iTunes
Book features:
- Large print for easy reading
- Limited text on each page providing extra white space to prevent information overload
- Clearly designated quick steps showing step-by-step details for each function
- Images to help orient the reader to the relevant iPod Touch screen
- Making Cognitive Connections exercises in each chapter
Why Focus on These Topics?
These topics were selected because they reflect the areas with which individuals with cognitive challenges have the most difficulty on a day-to-day basis. Examples of these difficulties include:
- Missing appointments
- Double-booking appointments
- Taking notes and not being able to find them when needed
- Not remembering homework assignments
- Not allowing enough time to get where they need to be
- Not having relevant contact information with them (phone numbers may be stored in a cell phone; however, addresses and relevant names may not be readily available)
- Forgetting a list of shopping items when going to the market
In fact, individuals with cognitive challenges were consulted regarding the topics and the depth and breadth of information presented in the book. The overwhelming response was that the book covered enough information without causing users to be overwhelmed by the amount of information or number of skills being learned.
