Top 5 Reasons to Use the PageUp
First, click on www.mypageup.com to see what I'm talking about! Once you're done thinking "Why didn't I invent that? Another chance to make my million--lost!", let's think through a few ways to use this nifty tool.
#5 You physically can't look down at the paper lying on the desk--due to motor or range of motion concerns or even the fact that you have a crick in your neck!
#4 You're working at the computer while referring to paper resources and need to reduce the motion and stress of looking back and forth between the vertical monitor and horizontal paper.
#3 You need a consistent place to post task instructions/checklists for collaborative or cooperative groups, but find that the task lists get lost in the shuffle of project materials and once it's out of sight, it's out of mind.
#2 You need a way to focus a student who has the typical "desk swamp"--papers everywhere, things flying off of the table surface, and no good way to focus on one set of instruction, task sequence, or text while working on a worksheet, essay, project or other task, so you set up a PageUp as a reserved location on the desk to maintain task directions.
#1 You are looking to add another cool, flexible AT tool to your toolbox and see that the PageUp can help everyone, not just those of us with disabilities!
