Note:  I am not marketing this application- I just like it. I've been following the evolution of this app. since it was PHUN beta.

Sharing: Video clips of sea life, gardens, butterflies, etc. set to relaxing music- useful with my students who have autism spectrum disorders

Posted on September 10, 2010 at 2:06pm 0 Comments

I created a set of high-definition videos for use on newer IWBs that I've found useful for students I work with who have autism spectrum disorders. I created shorter video clips for teachers to use in their lessons that also have a calming/relaxing effect on their students.


I'm in the process of experimenting with interactive video, using similar content.

Here is a copy of my original forum discussion post, plus a few updates:




If you are interested in emerging technologies, you might want to follow the link to the TechSparked website!


I recently came across a few long-standing blogs that never crossed my path during my Google searches, and I was thinking that a Classroom 2.0 discussion about blog-sharing might be helpful, since… Continue

About Me
The Interactive Multimedia Technology blog focuses on topics such as games in education, serious games, interactive multimedia applications for prevention and intervention, such as health promotion, stress management, and mental health, and exploring new ways that interactive multimedia can support efficiency in learning, cognition, and communication. This includes multi-touch technology on displays of all sizes.

The posts on the TechPsych blog are geared for psychologists, special educators, media specialists, educational technologists, teachers, speech and language therapists, and others who work in education or related fields. I look at ways that technology can be used to support important efforts in the schools, such as Universal Design for Learning, Response to Intervention, Positive Behavior Supports, and health promotion. I also touch on assistive technology, the use of technology in psychology, counseling, and related fields.


The posts on The World Is My Interface blog reflect what I've been discovering during my mid-life return to higher-education studies. The topics in this blog include technologies that support human-world interaction on and off the desktop: ubiquitous and pervasive computing, human-computer-interaction, collaborative technologies, info-viz, usability, and interaction design. I sometimes post examples of things I've nominated for the "usability hall of shame".

if you use twitter and use the #comments4kids hastag, you will get a lot of traffic to your blog.  Do a search on the tag first to see how it works.   It was set up by  NZ and US teachers about 18 months ago and has exploded!

Hi Lyn, Great idea to share blogs like this - especially for someone new to the concept like me.  It is always good to see what others are doing, find some "new" people to follow - and who knows, maybe even get a few more followers…

I can't believe I am just noticing your message after 4 years. I am currently retired but still do a lot of consulting in the use of technology in the classroom. Johnson C Smith has been a laptop university since 2000. we provide laptops for all full-time students. Our work is mostly focused on finding effective laptop use that supports learning. When the technology is available to everyone, innovation happens very fast.

I've been away from Classroom 2.0- my father had complications following surgery on March 3rd and was in the ICU for a few weeks, then a special care unit. I'm catching up with work and hope to visit the Classroom 2.0 world more regularly in the near future.

Hi Lynn. I was wondering if your students and colleagues would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

Popular music and lyrics are excellent tools for engaging all learners especially at-risk students.

Great for social and emotional learning/character education and lessons focusing on identity, self-esteem, healthy risk-taking and goal setting.

I've been slow getting back to classroom 2.0. I've gotten into working with Project Lead the Way, and I've been consumed with getting that going for the past 18 months. I should be able to get back into this forum now that PLTW is running successfully.

Hi Lynn,
It's nice to see another psychologist interested in technology. I enjoyed reading your blogs. Check out www.cpschallenge.com if you have time. I am looking for someone with a good background in technology and school psychology to do a review. Take care.

Hi Lynn,

That's one of the reasons I like it. :) If you have a question or need help please let me know. It's a powerful virtual classroom, I recommend you set up a session and just play around with it.

Hi Lynn,

In your research of web technologies I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's web based power point presentation platform. Both web based platforms have proven to be very useful to me in my online class.
