Assistive Technology
Tutorial Seven
Assistive technologies are devices that can improve independence and maintain and improve functional capabilities that make tasks easier and simpler to perform.
One of the assistive tools that I find useful is the time teller which can be used to set thetime in the way that you want to in order to alert the client so they can achieve and finish a particular task at hand.
It is a very economical tool and is quite simple, handy and easy to use.
It is useful especially for autistic children requiring them to finish their task at a specific time and provide independence and responsibility in finishing a task.

Video Production Sessions
Tutorial Four and Five
You tube is a video sharing internet website that allows people to upload and share videos for personal, leisure, educational or tutorial purposes. It also allows viewers to view, comment and subscribe to a favourite site.
The use of planning and storyboarding allowed us to cut and edit the video that was made for a smooth flow of the story as well as sequence the parts from start to finish in one minute. Firstly, there was a plan on what to video and how to do it and then had to take a few shots of that same scenario, then we had to view the whole video and decided on what to cut and edit and include in the video that our group was making. Finally, we had to include titles and end credits to finish off the video.

“A new technology is rarely superior to an old one in every feature”.
Digital Cameras offer improved quality and functions as compared to the traditional cameras although digital cameras still provide the same techniques and principle with that of a traditional camera. The varying sizes and colors and styles can cater to anyone’s likes and needs. Digital cameras produce quality images and are fantastic for web usage. As well as the cost of each image produced is insignificant and process time is negligent. On the other hand, traditional film is still the better choice for providing image quality to color and versatility in exposure settings.
Digital cameras can be used in conjunction with video cameras, laptops, hand held cameras and mobile phones.
Some of the ethical issues that may arise from using digital cameras may involve privacy and exploitation and misuse of the technology.
