Timo's Lesson Creator Makes It Simple to Create Custom Multimedia Vocabulary Lessons
This innovative and easy-to-use software allows teachers, therapists and parents to create customized vocabulary and language lessons on the computer. Timo, our animated tutor, coaches students through each new lesson onscreen offering encouragement and direction as needed.
Children with special needs often have particular vocabulary and language
issues that they need to work on individually. Timo’s Lesson Creator
puts the power of customized lessons for these children in the hands of those
who work with them.
There are just three easy steps to creating, using and sharing multimedia lessons.
Import Pictures
Any type of photo or graphic images can be used in Timo’s Lesson Creator,
including Mayer-Johnson’s Picture Communication Symbols™ that come with the
program, photographs or clip art images obtained from other sources.
Customize What Timo Says
Built-in flexibility allows lesson authors to change what Timo says in every
part of the program – it’s as easy as just typing in a sentence.
Share Lessons
Upload or email lessons you’ve created to share with other teachers, parents and
therapists to use with their students – or modify for a student’s particular
need.
Includes a set of 3,500 Picture Communication Symbols™ from Mayer-Johnson.
Timo’s Lesson Creator and Vocabulary can be used to extend vocabulary and language learning in many different ways in the classroom and at home, including:
- Academic vocabulary in areas such as science, math and social studies
- Teaching adjectives, cloze sentences, morphemes and theory of mind
- Pre-teaching vocabulary for difficult school lessons
- Daily and functional language
- Learning the names of classmates, relatives, and team members
