Extra Leaning Activties!
I thought that this lab was really fun. I also thought it was very educational. Me and my partner had a pair of tunnel vision goggles so we could only see out of a small hole. Some tasks were easier than others. I had to do a lot of scanning of the area when walking around because I could only see directly in front of me. If i wasn't scanning or something came out from the side of me it scared me so bad. It made me super anxious at times because certain lighting made it harder to see. I realized how important lighting and contrast is. Things without contrast were hard to see or caused me to trip a little. Overall it was a good experience.
As a guide i had to be mindful of my language and direction. If i was to the side of my partner and said come this way she had no idea what way I was meaning. If i wanted to point to something i had to make sure she was stopped and i was directly in front of her so she could see me in full. After i made a few adjustment it was easier than I thought to be the guide. There were a few times I had to guide her through a crowded area with her on my arm. This was pretty easy you just had to go slow and communicate through the movements. Both parts of this experience were very educational.
