How to make a Choice Making activity using Youtube and Powerpoint.




One of the challenges of working with older students with disabilities is that many computer activities that they used to enjoy when they were younger are no longer age appropriate.  One of the best places to find reinforcing content that is age appropriate for older students is YouTube.  While YouTube is a great resource, it is also difficult to navigate for many students with cognitive and motor disabilities.  

It is possible to use PowerPoint to make a choice making activity where students would click on a button on the screen and it would play their YouTube videos of choice.  This consists of  making buttons in PowerPoint that are linked back to specific YouTube videos.

Watch this video to see how to make your own:
