Kurzweil



[|Kurzweil Website] explains how to use Kurzweil software as an assistive technology. Triton High School has 6 dedicated computers for Kurzweil use in the media center. This software will read text aloud.

Quick overview of using Kurzweil for read-alouds:

-**Create a test**: Once you have created your quiz/test, go to the upstairs media center and login to Kurzweil. Scan your test or open it from your documents or storage device. Save it as a Kesi document in the Students Shared Folder (Be sure to name the test so that your student can identify it). Students can only open this test on computers with Kurzweil software loaded.

Login as the student. First name space last name.
 * -Check to see if the student has an account in Kurzweil:**

-**Schedule the student for testing:** The sign-up notebook is located by the scanner. On the date/time the student is scheduled to take the test, send him/her with a note, the hard copy of the test to write answers on, and a pencil to the upstairs media center. Instruct the student to sign in with Mrs. Pope. She will get the student a headset and give hm/her a quick overview of how to use the software to meet the student's read-aloud needs. When the student is finished, has logged out and turned in the headset to Mrs. Pope, she will send the student back to class with a note.
