Jessica's Resume Day 2

Today was a work day, gaining practical insight into creating a resume for a student.  My group is working with Jessica.  We are using Book Creator to help Jessica apply for a job at a veterinary clinic.
This kind of hands on activity is a great way to solidify my understanding of how we can support students with challenges by thinking outside the box.  I chose to use a function of book creator, normally intended to add a sound clips to the final product, as a means of providing step by step instructions for Jessica to follow.

I think having limited exposure to an app provides the opportunity to consider functions of the application to be used in a way not initially intended.

In my classroom, I can foresee a variety of ways that students can use applications like Book Creator, and I am excited to see what new ways the students can find to use the various functions of the application!
