Video Self-Modeling in the Classroom

Cindy Nankee, OTR/L, ATP

June 14, 2012

Question

Do you ever give the students the videos of themselves (VSM) on a portable device, such as an iPod Touch, to help them complete classroom work?

Answer

I have not handed the iPod Touch devices over to the children, mostly because my population is early childhood, first and second grade.  Most of my children also have 1:1 aids.  However, if you plan on working with older elementary or middle school-age children, who can be responsible with the devices, I think it would be a great idea.
