Content Taught
Using video models and task analyses, students will be taught how to watch a video on an iPod.
Teaching Procedures
- Create a video model to show the steps for taking a picture on an iPhone (see Kellems et al., 2016 below).
- Use the computer to show video models and teach each task analysis step to students.
- Give student the iPod and provide a verbal direction to start (e.g., “Let’s watch a movie”).
