The
authors are joyously enthusiastic about infusing technology into
the teaching of social skills. Their instruction has included:
- Following
the format of the Elements of Instruction, presenting the students
with an agenda of the lesson on a transparency displayed on
an overhead projector.
- The
repetition and practice of the instruction uses "pretend"
cell phones, pagers, answering machines and cordless phones.
- The
role plays are captured using a digital camera. The images are
used in numerous extension activities.
- Some
role plays involve students pretending to send emails or using
a computers to complete Omni forms for data entry.
- The
functions of computers are frequently modeled by having a computer
connected to a TVator for displays on large screen televisions
during the lesson.
- Teacher-made
HyperStudio stacks and on-line instructional activities are
used by students in the classroom.
- Augmentative
devices are provided for students with special needs.
