Precision Teaching & Technology

3d Program

Currently I am designing a software program that provides social skill instruction within an artificial environment. This environment has been simplified to assist student comprehension. I just acquired an awesome program containing a special plug-in that will allow me to create lines around each of the objects within the environment. This method is called cell shading. Cell shading has been used in electronic media to make computer graphics appear hand drawn. This should make the objects easier to recognize. Precision teaching and logarithmic charts can be used to monitor the progress of students utilizing this digital media. The program targets specific communication skills employed in everyday settings. The program is a simulation of these environments and scenarios. This program also uses research based strategies to assist in skill acquisition. I have uploaded a video of the artificial environment. I have not used the graphics plug in to further define objects within the environment so things may be difficult to make out at times. Enjoy!
