Join thousands of educators around the world and give your blind or visually impaired students a head-start in using an Android device. Ballyland Magic Plus teaches young students essential skills and concepts for TalkBack accessibility, Google's built-in screen reader, while they are playing a fun game!
While children play the game and interact with the Ballylanders, they learn accessibility concepts and fundamental finger gestures for TalkBack, your Android device’s built-in screen reader. These skills enable children who are blind or have low vision to use an Android tablet or other mobile touch screen device (including future smart phones).
The gestures incorporated in this app are: finger drag, double tap, single finger flick right/left, and two-finger flick right/left. The popular Tap-tap song motivates even reluctant learners to successfully master the important ‘double tap’, tapping along with the rhythm. In line with the story of the cute Ballylanders who practice their ‘magic’ tricks, your student gradually builds ‘magic’ TalkBack finger gesture skills, leading up to the Grand Finale: the Magic Show will only go ahead if the student takes charge and effectively performs the practiced gestures – a great way for you to assess a student’s progress!
