Customizing the Toolbar

April 29, 2008

Students are learning how to make their own customized toolbar. Here Travis is saving his custom toolbar. Travis pretty much likes the default set up of the program, but has made a few tweaks to make it even better. For his Reading toolbar he added “fill in the blanks”, and added the “spell check” next to the definition tool item.

Travis’s top 3 Toolbar item are the Definition feature, Voice Reading and the Sticky Notes.

Kursten has never made a customized toolbar, and really loves this feature. For a customized reading toolbar Kursten says she must have next page, prev page, next sentence and previous sentence, but what she loves most is the Lookup feature on the toolbar.

Hayden’s favorite item on the toolbar is the “spell check” function. Hayden and his helper are working together to create his customized toolbar.

Chazz (below) likes to keep his custom Kurzweil toolbar as clean and simple as possible. He removes everything from the toolbar and rebuilds it from scratch. Items like Synonyms, Choice of Voice and font choices are removed. By removing the unnecessary items, he has more room to display the icons larger.
