Activity 5

Empathize with blindness

1

Cover your eyes with a handkerchief or a mask.

2

Explore the different blocks and try to recognize them

3

Reflect

Was it easy? How many blocks did you correctly recognize? Could you fit them together to make a program or read it? How do you think a person with blindness or low vision feels? How do you think they can learn or what kind of help do they need to learn?

4

Make different programs or challenges with Scratch Jr. Tactile with your eyes covered

5

You can use the “ I have low vision ” app to understand the different visual impairments that exist and how they often combine with each other.

Try to see through the application: a text in a magazine or on a screen, a video or a photo, recognize objects in the environment, recognize and orient yourself in space, recognize blocks and make a program, etc.

You can also act with different disabilities, always with the utmost respect and sensitivity.
Example: A person who cannot move his fingers. How can he interact with a computer? How can he make a program with Scratch Jr. Tactile?
