Standard 4: Travel
Techniques.
B. Route Navigation.
C. Traffic Pattern
Concepts.
D. Street Crossings.
Plan and travel basic route
and return route patterns
(O&M-S4-3B).
Plan and travel complex
routes and return routes
(O&M-S4-7B).
Communicate routes in
step-by-step, sequential
directions, and predicts
travel time (O&M-S4-7B).
Generalize skills in
orientation, travel, problem
solving, information
gathering, and assistance
seeking at an advanced
level to plan and execute
safe and efficient goal-
directed travel (O&M-S4-
12B).
Demonstrate and
communicate advanced
knowledge and skill
application in virtual
environments that include
complex intersections and
traffic controls under all
lighting and weather
conditions (O&M-S4-
12C).
Go for virtual walks of
familiar areas and routes using
Google Street View.
Identify intersection shapes.
Make high contrast pictures of
intersections from a bird's-eye
or street view, and have the
student determine the
intersection's shape.
Practice route planning. Use
Google Maps to plan a trip to
a preferred location.
Explore a city the student has
never visited. Discuss how the
student would travel there,
how long it would take to get
there, and what types of items
they would need to bring.
Intersection Analysis using
"Street View." Review
familiar intersections.
Reinforce safe crossing
techniques. Virtually "box"
the intersection describing
when they would cross safely,
flag their cane, and listen
and/or visually scan for
perpendicular traffic as they
are crossing.
