Many of the classes at our school have TVators. These were used during the role plays to display word processing activities. During a reenactment of making an appointment, the student receiving the information typed it onto an calendar which was shown to the entire class.

Some of the teachers maintain a professional web space on the Internet. Often this is a place where homework is posted. For the purpose of teaching social skills, however, photographs of people interacting were uploaded. These images were viewed in class by connecting an Internet-linked computer to the TVator. The students could write about the events either in the classroom, the library or at home.

Clearly the thought of using pagers and cell phones engages the students.

Role plays were frequently videotaped. "You students watched an evaluated the way our players acted in person. "Let's take a second look using our video recording."

Use the images of the role play for creating handouts like the captioning activity in the student activities section.
