3D paper models and paper toys that are related to the Earth Sciences. Over 250 paper models that can be cutout and assembled. Some might be suitable for class projects while others are just plain fun to assemble. The difficulty of assembly for each model is highly varied.

"Video Modeling is a visual teaching method that occurs by watching a video of someone modeling a targeted behavior or skill and then imitating the behavior/skill watched."

In this blog post by a famous AAC clinician named Gail Van Tatenhove she tells the story of Velma, an employee at an adult facility who witnessed Gail talking with an AAC user by modeling on the device. Velma was inspired to become "America's Next Top Modeler" with Gail acting as her coach. In the article, Gail outlines some initial scripts she gave to Velma to use when chatting with the AAC user. These scripts were necessary because Velma couldn't be expected to know where every word was she might ever need to say. The scripts took the pressure off! Velma only needed to find these few words. Guess what happened? In time, Velma learned where all of these words were so she didn't need to use the scripts at all.

Aided language modeling: adult models how to use the individual's communication board/AAC system by actually pointing to/selecting symbols to represent words being read from the text Learning how to use aided language modeling during reading activities using strategies; either of the strategies could be used although in the research the RAA strategy was used primarily to model and elicit single symbol responses whereas RAAP strategy was used primarily to model and elicit multi-symbol response. You can use either of these strategies but prompts may be needed for some children. * RAA: using the read-ask-answer strategy to elicit single symbol responses on the AAC system * RAAP: using the read-ask-answer-prompt strategy to elicit single symbol or multisymbol responses on the AAC system

Speaking too quickly makes it difficult for some students who are learning language to use those utterances as effective models. Slow down the speech production of adult models. Segment out the words in phrases. Pause between each word. Tap a surface with your finger as you say each word to establish pace.

"The flip chart easel is used along with the alphabet flip chart for self-selected writing activities. The easel allows for the partner in partner-assisted scanning to have their hands free to point to the letters as well as write the letters the student chooses on their page. It also allows the student to have the alphabet flip chart at eye level as they focus on the letters being scanned. The easel can also be used with the communication flip chart for other partner assisted scanning activities. The easel has been designed by Julie Brickhouse, a teacher on the Deaf-Blind Model Classroom Project in North Carolina."

"The Transition Toolkit contains all of the resources needed for planning and hosting a Transition Institute that will create a memorable, high quality learning experience for deaf-blind teens.  The Toolkit is a repository of information, tools and resources that serve as a model for hosting a workshop for deaf-blind teens ages 14-22 and their families."

Kinesthetic learning (also known as tactile learning) is a learning style in which learning takes place by the student carrying out a physical activity, rather than listening to a lecture or watching a demonstration. People with a kinesthetic learning style are also commonly known as "do-ers". The Fleming VAK/VARK model (one of the most common and widely used categorizations of the various types of learning styles)[1] categorized learning styles as follows: Visual learners Auditory learners Reading- or writing-preference learners Kinesthetic learners[2]
