Our team will be developing a project focusing on the importance of digital storytelling in the classroom. We will have the students help us list the "Top 10 Reasons" teachers should take the opportunity to 21st centurize their curriculum. Then, each of the teammates (Jennifer, Lucy and Lindsey) will focus on 1 part of the core curriculum: math, science and reading. In the fall, we will each video teachers teaching lessons the 'old fashioned way' or other illustrations of non-digitized curriculum. We will then create podcasts on different elements - how to create a digital book report, teaching the teachers how to get to the new way of teaching. Then, we will each revamp the lesson to digitalize it, incorporating the T3 technology and equipment. A possible title is 'Out of the Dark Ages". iWeb, garage band, iMovie, jing.com (screencasts). We would each create 1 podcast this fall for the project.
