Extras

=Extras!=

Here are some extra projects that were completed just for class and are not part of the //Traveling the World// lesson plan (but could be added in, espcially the Photo Story project):

I create a digital photo story with Photo Story 3 by Microsoft. Photo Story 3 is not compatible with Macintosh, however, it is great program that students will have a lot of fun with. Students implement pictures, music, and a voice over to create a digital story. Here is my sample photo story, //The Battle at Chillville//:

In the lesson plan, students could use digital storytelling to create a story with themselves and the influential figure they researched at any of the three destinations they visited. I would tack this on as extra credit for students who have finished early or who want to take the time to complete it at home.

Here is a rubric for digital storytelling that I would use if I decided to incorporate it into the lesson:

Finally, here are 2 articles that highlight how digital storytelling can be used in a classroom setting: ESL Classroom Regular Ed. Classroom

Here is the interactive Powerpoint I created for class. This Powerpoint highlights the ISTE student and teacher standards and provides links to various projects from this lesson that spotlight the standards. In most cases, the Powerpoint links back to the lesson plan page on this Wiki because the lesson describes in detail how projects will be used and how students will use their sources legally. For example, Standard 1 links back to my Wiki homepage because my whole Wiki explains how students meet that standard.
