Just trying it out as a way to encourage teachers to add voice to ppt

1. SPEICIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS’
INSERVICE
16TH NOVEMBER 2010

2. Supporting Students with ICT in the
Classroom

3. How can digital technology be used to
support special needs students in the
classroom?
Today we are looking at:
• Creating digital social stories using flip video
cameras
• Using power point to differentiate classroom
programs

4. Using Flip Videos for
Social Skills and Social
Stories
Video Modelling and Video Self
Modelling

5. A tool for teaching social skills in
which a video of appropriate
interactions is shown repeatedly to
children with autism. The children
then role play the situation
themselves.
What is Video Modelling?

6. • ASD students are visual
• Many schools now have Flip Video
Cameras
• Flip Videos light and easy to use
• Videos can be made to meet the needs
of individual students
• Research studies indicate effectiveness of
the tool
Why use FLIP videos?

7. • Task analyse the skill or story – your script
• Setting viewed in the video should be the
same as the setting in which the child will
demonstrate the behaviour
• Expansion and generalization using different
settings
• Video must show a “close-up” of the targeted
action or behaviour
• Videos are short, usually less than 3-5 minutes
Basic guideline for set up

8. • Focus on one skill at a time
• Slow motion
• Up Close- zoom in
• Highlight single words
• Use text
• Use symbols
Highlight Important Information

9. • Video modelling focuses on strengths to
enhance comprehension
• May be viewed on an IPOD, DVD, or computer
• Very accessible to the student
• Some students access their own videos
• Some students want to video their own
attempts
• Videos may be used as reinforcers
Advantages

10. • Not tied to a specific treatment approach
• Can be used to enhance learning and social
skills
• Powerful tool for learning new behaviours
and improving already acquired skills
Advantages

11. • Transition to school
• Living skills
• Feelings
• Text Types – Procedure; Recount
• CAN YOU SUGGEST OTHER WAYS???
Other Ideas for Flip Videos

13. Differentiating Curriculum within the
Classroom
• How can we assist classroom teachers to plan
and program ways of differentiating classroom
tasks?
• We will investigate some ways that
technologies can be used to facilitate common
classroom tasks (in this case a Narrative text
type) in ways that easily allow for a
differentiated response.

14. HOW TO USE PowerPoint TO DIFFERENTIATE INSTRUCTION
The possible uses of PowerPoint to differentiate are endless.
All four areas of differentiation are able to be adjusted with PowerPoint
(content, process, product, and learning environment.)
Learners who need individualized programs are able to make presentations
that are interactive and created for the exact content needed – for example,
sight words that need to be practiced.
Visually impaired students can have the content’s text in very large type on
the background colour that works best and are able to control at their own
pace.
Beginning or struggling writers can create a “book” that is both impressive
and motivating.
Students who become discouraged and struggle with completing projects
enjoy PowerPoint because even a work-in-progress looks good.

15. Using Power Point to
differentiate text type tasks
•PowerPoint presentations with sound files reading
the text can assist students with reading disabilities.
•Gives students with reading disabilities autonomy
and ability to complete higher-level work.
•Only needs a classroom computer with
headphones, PowerPoint software, and a program
similar to Audacity

16. Differentiate tasks for narrative text
• Mulga Bills Bicycle Image to be scanned

17. Some ideas
•Scaffolded retell of the story
•Picture Sequencing
•Text Sequencing
•Matching pictures to text or text to
pictures
•Highlighting Language Features of
the text type
•Cloze activities – inserting language
features

18. Hands on
• Use PowerPoint to develop differentiated text
typevideo modelling tasks
or
• Use flip videos to practice filming
or
• Use one of the other digital technologies in
some other way to differentiate class
programs/tasks

19. Think about the possibilities!
