About Me

My photo
I am one part of the middle school speech pathologist duo at Mounds View. I split my time between Chippewa, Highview, and Oak Grove. I just started my 5th year in the district. I absolutely love working with middle school students, and can't imagine working with another age group.

Exercise 3: Digital Storytelling

I decided to use Storybird, at the recommendation of a Tech Boot Camp graduate.  Last week I needed to write a social story for a student who has autism.  He has been having a lot of difficulty with accepting that homework is a part of school, getting started on assignments, and understanding that he is smart enough to complete the assignments.  I liked this medium, it was a fun change of pace from using Boardmaker Software.  Also, I can work on it from any computer.  With Boardmaker I have to have the disk, and the computer I'm working on also needs to have the software installed on it.  I'm going to share it with him tomorrow, so I'm excited to see what he thinks of it.  The only thing I didn't like about Story Bird was the limited amount of pictures that were available to use.  I also didn't like that if you want a printed copy of the story you created you need to purchase the digital copy for $1.99
