Assistive Technology Day 8 July 14, 2010

It is nice that I am able to blog more effectively this course, and it is actually quite fun and also a bit addictive. I was able to finalize assignment 3 other than task B which needs to be created and presented on Monday, so at least I feel like I am on task.
We are finishing our social stories today and this is quite fun since we are filming, editing and doing voice overs to set up our social story video. We are working in groups and the members of my group are Calee, Sarah, Gail and me, Kathy, we seem to all work well together and this assignment is coming together and almost completed.

We wrote a social story about a student that has difficulty following his morning routine and usually ends up in his homeroom with his coat and without his binder and pencil case prepared for the morning. This is call a preparation story and we are hoping to be able to load it on our blogs, exciting our first movie production actually a video but does it really matter.

Social Story
School arrival routine
When I come to school in the morning I go directly to my locker and hang up my coat. I look at my checklist to see what I need for the morning. I pick up my binder, my pencil case and my water bottle. I will put my iPod Touch around my neck. I will do this quickly, lock my locker and go directly to my homeroom classroom so my teacher will know that I am here. This will make my teacher happy and make me happy too.

1. David walks to locker.
