Most students with social learning challenges need to become more comfortable with their uncomfortable feelings. In this course, Anna Vagin, PhD, shows how visual supports, engaging media, and games can support social learning, starting with the basic elements of strong visual supports.
Before turning to media, Anna reviews a framework for grouping students based on language skills, perspective-taking ability, and the understanding of emotions, along with strategies for forming groups so that everyone gives to and gets from all members. She then demonstrates how YouTube videos can build social-emotional learning (SEL) by expanding emotional vocabulary, understanding changes in emotions, and strengthening students' ability to reflect on their own emotional experiences.
Specific activities address relationships, including cooperation and flexibility; "jerky," annoying, and overly competitive behavior; and restoring relationships and dealing with misunderstandings. You'll learn activity threads for a Masha video, how a game can foster social learning, why silence is an important mediating tool, and how "Block and Box" can organize features of a social concept such as problem solving. Anna also covers research justifying movies and videos as engaging material and how to write a social learning goal with a rubric to document progress.
