This is a great tool to use for a variety of skills. Luckily we are often surrounded by many different types of technology; lets take advantage of the built in features, such as cameras and videos! At my school, we did a presentation with all of the speech and language therapists to show staff how they can use the cameras on their iPads for video modeling! This could benefit many students in special education that are struggling with a skill.
