MultiMedia Tools: Video

Lesson Idea Name: Shapes Attributes

Grade Level/Content Area: 2nd grade math
Content Standard Addressed: MGSE2.G.1 Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a
given number of angles or a number of equal faces. Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons,
and cubes.

Technology Standard Addressed: Model and nurture creativity and creative expression to communicate
ideas, knowledge or connections.

Guiding question or statement How can a shapes attributes help us determine what shape it is?

Set a goal that you want to achieve with this plan for learning with the use of multi-media tools? Will you
use your video as a sample of what students will design or will you use the video for meaningful learning
about a topic? Be sure to mention what tool you/your students will use
The tool I used to create my movie was iMovie. I created this movie to introduce my students to a new topic
and engage them in learning.

Bloom’s Taxonomy Level(s):

☐ Remembering ☒ Understanding ☒ Applying ☐ Analyzing ☐ Evaluating ☐ Creating

Levels of Technology Integration:

☐ Infusion Level: Students may work at a higher Bloom’s Level, but they do not have any “Voice or Choice”
during the activity and most of the decisions are made by the teacher.

☒ Integration Level: We would like to see ALL lessons/activities reach this level. The project is student-
driven. Students have “Voice and Choice” in the activities, selecting the topic of study and determining the
technology tool to demonstrate mastery of the standard. The teacher becomes more of a facilitator.
☐ Expansion Level: The projects created are shared outside of the classroom, publishing student work and
promoting authorship. This could be reached by showcasing the project on the school’s morning
newscast, posting the project to the classroom blog, or publishing via an outside source.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

The technology implemented in this activity introduces students to new content in an engaging way. It
supports all students, but especially ones who respond well to technology screens, images, and videos. It also
promotes independent learning as it gives students the opportunity to replay and rewind the video if needed.

Lesson idea implementation:

The video made through iMovie will help the teacher introduce the topic and transition into the activity. For
the activity, students will be given a worksheet to work with a partner. The worksheet will address more
shapes and how to identify them through their angles. Once students have finished the worksheet to further
enhance their learning, they will play a game with the same partner. The final product differentiates learning
by providing visual and auditory learners a video, which they can also replay or rewind if needed. It also
provides students with a worksheet if written learning supports their learning best. To conclude the lesson,
we will discuss as a whole class if students enjoyed the game and how it went for the pairs. I will also reiterate

what was learned on the worksheet by asking students some higher-order thinking questions.

Importance of technology:
This technology tool enhances student learning by providing another way for students to consume
information. It is critical to this project specifically because it doesn’t just force students into an activity with
no prior knowledge or introduction. If the teacher did not want to create a video, many other technology
tools could have been used, like PowerPoint, Nearpod, Kahoot, etc.

Internet Safety and Student Privacy:

Regarding internet safety and student privacy, there are many things to remember. It is important that each
student understands the risks of going onto websites that are not safe. There is also privacy risks to students
creating accounts and giving information on their identity. To minimize this risk, I can ensure to let my class
know the risks and rules to internet safety and of course, monitor closely as to what my students are doing on
the computer during class time. To alleviate any fears by parents and administrators, I would keep them
aware of the sites that students are permitted and not permitted to use and why the ones they are allowed to
use pose minimal or no risks at all.

Reflective Practice: To further this learning and promote higher-order learning, I would have students create
their own product using the technology of their choice to explain their understanding of angles and how they
help someone identify different shapes.
