Social Skills Picture Book for High School and Beyond

Social Skills Picture Book for High School and Beyond Review

I teach a period of students with various disabilities (learning, emotional, behaviorial, autism/aspergers) and this book catches their attention with very relevant lessons they need. It is actually a middle school group and I prefer this book to the elementary level one. The students enjoy the real life pictures and like to take turns reading. The lessons lead to productive discussions on how the students will use these skills in their classes and lives. The lessons that aren't relevant to my particular students I just skip, and sometimes it applies to only one student so I sit with the student one-on-one or have my aide do that. This is a very good lesson book for when you have a substitute or for your instructional aides to use with students as it is very straightforward, easy and uncomplicated to use, and students generally enjoy it. All my aides and aubstitutes have commented positively on these lessons, and it is a definite plus to have happy subs and aides!

Social Skills Picture Book for High School and Beyond Overview

In 2001, Dr. Baker wrote The Social Skills Picture Book, designed for young children with social communication challenges. Now, in response to the deluge of requests from parents with children in their teens, here is Dr. Baker's long-awaited book, specifically geared toward older students.

The Social Skills Picture Book for High School and Beyond offers a visual learning format. Photos of actual students engaging in a wide variety of social situations show, rather than tell, the right (and wrong) ways to interact in different circumstances. They visually illustrate the positive and negative consequences of both ways of interacting. The book also offers instructions for students & families to create their own Social Skills booklets.

The social skills address real-life situations that are important to teens, such as: making new friends, interrupting a conversation, asking for help when needed, respecting each other's space, working as part of a group, making mistakes, giving class presentations, asking someone out on a date, doing difficult schoolwork, interviewing for a job, and much, much more!

The Social Media Marketing Book

The Social Media Marketing Book Review

Social media marketing is big business. All of the social media web sites are awash with companies trying to use them to sell their products and services. In many cases these campaigns are ill-conceived and end up annoying more people and driving them away from the company in question.

It's not that social media marketing is particularly difficult. It's just that it's a new area and it's very easy to get something wrong and to end up doing more harm than good. The users of social media services tend to be a little more clued-up than the general population and they are often suspicious of traditional marketing methods. I'm sure we can all recite horror stories of internet marketing campaigns that have backfired badly.

Dan Zarrella knows what he's talking about though. He knows how to tiptoe around the minefield that is social media marketing without stepping on any of the minds. If all of the people currently trying to use Facebook and Twitter as a marketing tool would stop and spend a couple of hours (yes, it's a very short book) reading Zarrella's book then their campaigns would all be of a higher quality and they'd have a lot more success.

Zarrella covers all the bases in his discussion of social media tools. He goes from blogging and Twitter to video sharing and Second Life. On the way he shares all the nuances that he has picked up whilst working with these various tools. Each chapter discusses a particular area in some depth and the final two chapters step back from the detail to have a look at strategy and measurement.

The precise sites that we'll be using in the future will no doubt change. It's quite likely that won't still be using Twitter in three years time, but Zarrella's advice is likely to still hold true as the underlying principles will still be appropriate.

If you're planning a social media marketing campaign then it'll be well worth your while reading this book.
