Hi folks,
this is my description for my 2nd assignment. I am going to record, orally and visually the children's story book called, WHERE THE WIDE THINGS ARE. I am gearing this lesson to a small group of children that come under the general banner of SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN. The purpose of doing this activity is to investigate whether a virtual learning environment is a suitable means of teaching this small group of children. Thes children have very little oral skills and almost no written skills.
The classroom teachers have asked me to put together a lesson and a report as to whether this learning activity will enhance what they do in the classroom.
All of the instructions will need to be given to the children orally and I am relying very much on the striking visual character of this classic children's book as a prompt in capturing their attention. I am hoping the the use of a VLE program will help. I will be using VOICE THREAD and the written instructions, questions and evaluation, will be posted on my blog site.
Hope this is enough information,
Cheers,
Lou

Hi Lou! i think this is a great way to teach children with special needs. i have read many research stating that activities that are visual, auditory and tactile are a great way for children with special needs, especially because it gives them another means to learn. good luck with it! =)
