| Specific purposes | Students will be able to make a presentation in class and at school events using slides they create without help. |
| Considerations for disability characteristics | The simple operability of Smile Notes enables first-time users to use it intuitively. Handwriting, text, sound, pictures, and videos can be input. Sound can be added not only to slides, but also to text and pictures; so even students who are not good at speaking in front of a large crowd and who have difficulty in recognizing things only with letters and pictures can use Smile Notes to their advantage. |
| Expected effects and results | Students were able to make a presentation while operating their manuscripts by themselves. For investigative learning and review, students took pictures, input sounds, and wrote text by themselves, and quickly completed the manuscript to make a presentation. They were able to check how they performed using pictures and videos, which enabled them to inspect their activities. This method can also be applied to a travel diary. |
