MULTI-MEDIA AUTHORING TEMPLATE

Name: Marissa Broughton

PART A: Describe how students could create and publish an original movie, audio file, podcast, or vodcast in order to achieve
required learning standards. Challenge: For an A provide an idea where the learning activity reaches a LoTi level 4a or
above. To do this you will have to design a project where students engage in higher-order thinking and publish their work to an
audience that will use or care about the results. Broad feedback for their work is also a great way to boost interest and
performance.
Grade Level: Second Grade
Content Area: Social Studies
Technology Used (check all that apply): Movie Audio Podcast Vodcast Other: (list)
Content Area/Grade/Standards/Topics Addressed: SS2H1:

The student will read about and describe the lives of historical figures in Georgia
history (Jackie Robinson)

Brief Description of Learning Experience: What learning standards will be addressed? What will
students and teachers do? How will the project be introduced? How long will it take to complete? What
audience will use/care about the multimedia projects students are creating? How broad is this
audience? How will student work be assessed and by whom? Who will provide feedback to students
about their work? (Overview should be approximately 1-2 paragraphs)

Students will identify the contributions made by Jackie Robinson. Teacher will go over the history and the
important role Jackie Robinson had on the segregation era and changing the game of baseball. Students will
have 2 days of knowledge on the topic.
On the third day students will take what they have learned and make a video with Movie Maker. Students will
make a 2 minute video with picture, audio, and music in their video. We will publish the video and have a
premier party to view all the students work.
Student Engagement/Higher-Order Thinking: What LoTi level would this lesson be and Why?
Which indicators of Engaged Learning are strong and why?

The learning experience is at a LoTi level of 4, student use technology and the technology is central to
classroom instruction/requires learning standards. The instructional method is more student-directed and the
learning activity has multiple, even unpredictable results. The teacher both a guide and a true co-learner.
Importance of technology: Why is using a multimedia authoring tools critical to the project? Could
the project be completed without this technology? What would be lost without using it? What other
types of technology, if any, are going to be used in the learning experience?

This multimedia is great way to spark students that dont like the usual day to day lessons. For the more
creative students this a good way to show the way they interrupt the material. Without multimedia the
classroom would be boring the audio and video element is a good way to engage students.
Inspiration (optional): If you used existing multimedia projects as a model for your project (whether
in part or whole), include the URL(s) so we can visit. Explain what concepts you borrowed from
others.

Internet Safety and Student Privacy: Briefly discuss some possible issues surrounding internet
safety and student privacy that could arise while implementing this learning experience and explain
how youd minimize risks to students/yourself, alleviate any fears by parents/administrators, and
follow school districts Internet Safety/Use Policy. The internet can be a wonderful resource for kids . As

with any safety issue, its wise to talk with your kids about your concerns, take advantage of resource to
protect them, and keep a close eye on their activities.
