Mobile Modeling: Using And Creating Ipad And Ipod Apps To Shape Students With Disabilities, Amanda J. Rockinson-Szapkiw, Justin M. Tucker, Carolyn Wicks

Amanda J. Rockinson-Szapkiw

Modeling is effective for teaching communication, social, and functional living skills to students with emotional, behavioral, and cognitive disorders (Werts, Caldwell, & Wolery, 1996). Video modeling and audio prompts can be as effective as live modeling (Murzynski & Bourret, 2007; Rehfeldt, Dahman, Young, Cherry, & Davis, 2003).

Such extra-ordinary pedagogues are people who will give themselves as ministers and missionaries in the temple of education.
