Picture Communication apps used in the classroom

A quick example and demonstration on how our autism program are using Proloquo2go and Choice Board Creator in the classroom.

This year we've been using two picture communication apps:

ProLoQuo2Go and Choiceboard creator.

First I will show you ProLoQuo2Go.

This is the first app that we purchased

and it cost a hundred and eighty nine dollars.

There's over ten thousand pictures

and several folders that two pre-programmed in.

Our classroom is using quick sets.

[device] Quick sets.

OK, i'm gonna show you.

meal times are often our most

uh... motivating time of the day.

Breakfast

Each day I'm able to program what we eat.

The students are able to

make a sentence

to request what they want to eat.

i want

banana

please

I want banana please.

then the next day when I need to edit it

i can push the (?)

and go into the edit mode

uh...

and click on the picture.

I'm going to choose a picture that I've already taken.

I'll scroll through my pictures.

Melon

re-type my text

and

I want melon, please.

that's basically how we're using ProLoQuo2Go.

We also can use it during in speech time

time for speech

when they request toys they wanna play with

I want snake, please.

For some of our students that we need the pictures to be larger.

This is how you make the pictures larger.

You're gonna have to go into the settings

and then go to ProLoQuo2go settings

click on appearance,

item size,

choose very large,

then it instantly changes the size of the pictures.

I want monkey, please.

That's how we're using ProLoQuo2go.

Choiceboard Creator is a free app that we found online.

You have two modes:

either create activity or start an activity.

I'll show you that activities we already have programmed in here

uh... the student is asked to point to one of their classmates.

Says Point to Rowan.

if they pick the wrong picture, it will

do blue flashing and go back

but if they pick the right picture, the default is a clap

and it goes into the next question.

Point to Jojo

and you pick the right picture [clapping sound]

and it goes to the next slide.

Return to the main menu, we also use it at snack time.

Do you want fruit snacks or vegetable strips?

[clapping sound]

You can make it so that both pictures produce clapping.

Both pictures are acceptable choices.

When they pick what they want, the picture enlarges and that's what they can get.

Those are just two examples of the ChoiceBoards that we are using.

The ProLoQuo2go is a little easier and has

more pictures, more options programmed in.

The ChoiceBoard Creator

is also a good free option.

It allows you to program pictures and

you can also program your own audio in there as well

Thank you for joining us and we'll have more updates on the different apps that we're using.
