Visual recognition of the Microsoft Word symbols will need to be taught, and the icons, background, menu items, cursor, along with 19 screen size will vastly improve print clarity. Major Learning Activities Dustin will use the computer to enhance school performance, write, research, and produce adapted documents that will be readable and able to be saved, organized, and handed in.
