Content Taught
Using video models and task analyses, students will be taught how to take a picture on an iPhone.
Task Analysis: Taking a Picture with an iPhone
- Create a video model to show the steps for taking a picture on an iPhone (see Kellems et al., 2016 below).
- Use the laptop to show video models and teach each task analysis step to students.
- Give student the phone and prompt them to “take a photograph of a person.”
- If the student makes an error, hold the phone out of the student’s sight, fix the error, and prepare the phone for the student to complete the next step.
