Social Skills: Putting the "C" in Cool
In May 2011, the Texas Education of Blind and Visually Impaired Students Advisory Committee offered teachers, parents, and students with visual impairments across the United States and Canada an opportunity to submit a short video on the theme, "Social Skills: Putting the ‘C’ in Cool." The contest provided a perfect opportunity to highlight a favorite lesson to teach social skills at home, school, or in the community.
For each winning video, you will find a short description, lesson plan, and the video lesson.
We are pleased to say the Described Caption Media Program (DCMP) partnered with the Texas Education of Blind and Visually Impaired Students Advisory Committee to provide captions and description for each video.
You may view the videos and lesson plans on the websites of the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired (TSBVI) www.tsbvi.edu, DCMP (below), and on DCMP’s YouTube channel.
