Jan. 2010 NOTICE: The Collaboration for Video Modeling is seeking assistance to prepare a public information series on the subject. We welcome advised input regarding applications of, or approaches to, using video modeling that falls within the traditional definition of the term, as well as input on related hi-tech or experimental progeny applications.
See BLOG POSTS below: "Update: Video modeling project"

All members are welcome to participate.


INFORMATION FOR THOSE NEW TO THIS SITE
This group will:
• Promote the overall integration of technology for the S.E. community
• Clarify issues hampering the integration process
• Structure collaboration for actionable results
• Connect those who use technology with those who create it.
• Lead to action

Our first project
promotes wider use of video modeling for autism in the home, the community and classroom.

Our objective is to ensure that all educational stakeholders have, at their disposal, the resources they need to research, plan and maintain a productive VR program, whether it be initiated by parents or as part of a home/school cooperative program. A public information series will answer many of the initial questions about video modeling.

The more important questions of how and when to apply different forms of video modeling can only be answered after parents, educators and administrators have had opportunity to reflect on the topic and the opportunity to speak up. Towards this end, a Stakeholder Questionaire is being constructed, basically posing the question, "What would YOU need to start using this great tool?" Without knowing what stakeholders need, few children will ever be able to benefit from the use of VM.

This survey is being considered for independent research purposes. Andrea Tartaro will be assembling the final Stakeholder Questionnaire in January. Check out the current list of questions. Can you improve upon them.? We want to hear from you all but please hold back your suggestions, comments/criticisms until Andrea confirms the contact protocol for us. Find the questions under the SHARE FILES tab located above.
