This week, J and I took time to record the information we wanted our audience to know. It took time especially because J is below reading level. His reading is slow and we would have to restart when he came to words that he was not sure of even after just having repeated it. After recording each slide I had J help me drag his pictures to movie maker and choose the transitions. Once that was finished I uploaded his voice recordings and took about half an hour or more trying to cut them and extending the slides to stay with the recording. It was a bit tedious but the end product was satisfying. J was able to take the link back to his inclusion classroom and show his video to the entire class. His teacher was impressed and so were his peers. J told them he knew some of them would be "jealous."
This project though time consuming and perhaps a little more difficult thanks to the attention span of my student, was entertaining and informative for both me and my student. If I were to do this again with my students in the future I would keep the same procedure. I would prepare more websites for them a head of time. I would also try a hand at letting them add their own recordings.
Take a look at our end product!
