Label the World Using Microsoft's Photosynth Program
Many special needs students require help developing and expanding their vocabulary. The experiences they have may be limited making it difficult to connect concepts to words. Microsoft's Photosynth is a powerful tool which can connect concepts through images and words by linking identifying words to objects in a series of images.
Imagine creating a panorama view of the classroom. First step is to take a series of photographs inside the classroom with a digital camera. Next, the images are hyperlinked together using Photosynth. The result produces a virtual classroom where descriptions and labels can be attached to any objects in the room.
Below are the step-by-step directions to follow once the photographs have been taken are are placed in a folder on the computer desktop.
