Our goal for our students is to help find ways they can work and live in their communities just like their peers without disabilities. One of the projects we complete each year to highlight the many skills and strengths of our students is a visual resume. We need a portable way to capture our students showcasing their work skills and their favorite leisure activities so that we can help them develop a visual resume. Since most of my students won't have traditional work experience and many struggles to read and write, we take photos and videos of them doing all of the activities they love and have developed their skills in. Just like a typical resume, these get updated each year so that when students graduate, they have a portfolio of their experiences and examples of their growth. An iPad is portable so we can take it out of the building easily, and we can also use Class Dojo on it and keep notes and emergency contact information all in one place. This project really arose because we needed a way to take photos and videos that we could take with us to job sites and on community-based instruction trips (like a field trip but to a community location that students need to practice going to such as a grocery store or the library) - however, because iPads have wi-fi capability we can also use it for a variety of other needs which is wonderful!
