Medicine Section At My Local Rite Aid Has A Magnifying Glass To Help Visually Impaired People Read The Labels
Ace 3 weeks ago
I don't consider myself 'visually impaired', I don't even wear glasses, but in recent years have found myself often having to reach for my phone to magnify the writing on the shelf label in supermarkets, so I think this is a great idea. (Yes, I do have a couple of pairs of reading glasses, round about +1.5, for close-up work at home, but don't carry them around with me).

Not Only Does It Keep Your Page; It Keeps Your Line
Balseraph 3 weeks ago
It's cute, but very much solving a problem that doesn't exist. It takes a couple of seconds to familiarise myself with where I was when I open to a bookmark. If it's been long enough since I last read it that I can't do that quickly, knowing the exact line won't help and I'll likely have to turn back a few pages to reread anyway.

Every resource helps the ones who are both able to take advantage and are willing to put in the extra effort. Like every educational resource, it might serve some well, but not others. No single resource is good for everybody (learning style, level of content, previous understanding, etc.). This is good as one tool in the educational toolbox for teachers to offer.
