| Specific purposes | To facilitate written communication during job hunting and internships at workplace, Hitsudan Patto, an iPad app, is used instead of pencil and paper. |
| Considerations for disability characteristics | Hitsudan Patto app can split the iPad screen into two, on which two people facing each other can write and draw. Each can select the color and boldness of his or her lines so as to distinguish from the other’s. |
| Expected effects and results | In written communication using pencil and paper, one needs to wait until the other finishes writing. Hitsudan Patto app displays what’s being written or drawn spontaneously also on the other part of the screen in a direction that is easy for the reader to see, facilitating smooth communication because the users do not need to wait. |
| How to use |
1) Open the Hitsudan Patto app installed on the iPad. 2) Display the screen for making entries. 3) Write or draw on the nearer part of the split screen. 4) What is written or drawn is displayed also on the other part of the screen, facing the reader. 5) Save the contents, when necessary, using screen capture (they are saved as photos when a new image is displayed after finishing entries). *Hardware: iPad |
| Related teaching materials and information | What is written or/and drawn is saved in Camera Roll (photos) on the iPad. It is easy to save contents that need to be recorded, such as for work, and look at them afterwards. |
| Useful for other students |
