Brad Davis FREEDOM SCIENTIFIC ANNOUNCES APH SCHOLAR TRADE IN VALUES AND NEW EASY-TO-USE CLASSROOM FEATURES(St. Petersburg, Florida September 19, 2004) - – If you or someone you know uses an American Printing House for the Blind (APH) Scholar but dreams of owning a powerful Freedom Scientific PAC Mate, now is the time to act! Freedom Scientific is offering an exciting opportunity to trade in your APH Scholar for the popular and adaptable PAC Mate – now with new features designed for easier classroom use. The PAC Mate is an ideal tool for students. In fact, those who use JAWS® for Windows® already know how to use the PAC Mate! And now, using the PAC Mate is even easier for students, with new simplified menus that respond to the individual student's learning level. With new Student 1 and Student 2 Menus for K-5 and intermediate grades, a teacher or trainer can place in the Start Menu only the tools students need: a four-function or scientific calculator, an easy word processor, calendar, Stopwatch and other tools most used by students. The teacher can reveal other more complex or less frequently used applications as the students’ skill and comfort level grows. What’s more, PAC Mate is easy to expand with resources like encyclopedias, dictionaries and thesaurus programs. As students enter their college and professional years, they can quickly and simply adapt the menus to provide easy access to more advanced tools. As well, they can add applications like DAISY readers and GPS navigation solutions to make the PAC Mate an even more indispensable tool for everyday living. Now is the time to move up from the APH Scholar to a PAC Mate.
