Show Me!: A Teacher's Guide to Video Modeling

With the technology we have today (tablets, smart phones, applications), implementing video modelling is easier than ever! This book is meant to inspire readers to think about how they can use video modelling by providing many real-life examples of students who have used and found benefits from watching video to learn social skills, positive behaviours, and academics. A helpful planning guide is provided to help teams get started and more easily implement the video-modelling strategy.

"Video modeling is one of the most effective evidence-based practices I have used in my nineteen years of teaching experience. Carol and Heather have broken down the steps to make it easy to understand and implement. They have created a guide that is so user-friendly I have no excuse but to try it! This is a must-have for all educators, supervisors, therapists, and parents. I can see myself lending this book to colleagues not only in special education, but in general education and therapy."

"Many of us use videos to learn to do new things. In Show Me! A Teacher's Guide to Video Modeling, the authors provide clear, step-by-step instructions for teachers wishing to use video modeling with their students. Using the planning guide, teachers can plan for video modeling, create instructional videos and determine when, where, and how the videos will be used. Teachers will find this guidebook easy to use, and they will be prepared to implement video modeling with their students."

"The instant words or directions are spoken, they disappear. Making a video provides a way for the student to review directions as many times as needed. He can also use video modeling to see himself or peers completing tasks independently. This book is extremely valuable for both parents and educators!"
