About+Me

This project was developed for students with moderate to severe special needs. I would have the parents help in this project to make it more accurate for the students and to include home life in it as well as school life. The project is to help the students create slideshows about things they like and dislike. This is interesting for the student because it is about the student and even though while watching they will see things that they do not like, they will also get to see the things they do like. I like having the parents involved because it helps me to get to know my student better and learn things about them that I didn't know. My students like to watch their videos over and over again. You will need: a digital camera or pictures


 * 1) If you have a digital camera then just upload the photos into a file on your classroom computer. If you have pictures, then you will need to have access to a scanner so you can scan the pictures into a folder on the classroom computer. This is a picture that I put in my slideshow.
 * 2) Once the pictures are on your computer, help the students to creat a slideshow by using sites such as: [|www.animoto.com], [|www.flixtime.com], or [|www.stupiflix.com].
 * 3) Allow students to have access to view their slideshows at appropriate times during the school day.

Here is a link to my sample slide show that I created using animoto: [|My slideshow]
