Digital Story TPACK

Content:
We decided to work with 1st grade
Standard 1Objective 2b
Objective 2 Develop language through viewing media and presenting.
b.Use a variety of formats (e.g., show and tell, drama, sharing of books and personal writings, choral readings, informational reports, retelling experiences and stories in sequence) in presenting with various forms of media.

Pedagogy:
We will be representing "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly." With pictures, narration and music in a digital story. We will be letting the student see books in another light. After having students watch this movie. Each student or a group of students will make their own. This is a very creative way of getting students excited about literature.

Thechnology:

To represent this story we will be using Photostory. Photostory will allows us to combine pictures to make a movie. It also lets us narrate the story and have music in the background. This will allows the students to see this story in a new way. They will be able to look at new pictures and hear me reading the story. So they will be able to work on their reading fluency.

PS. The monkeys don't mean anything, I just like them. You could take this project a little farther and give students a group of different pictures and have them make up a story with the pictures.

Booyeah Storyboard!

Like I said...Booyeah...storyboard.

The Answers!

The content in our science project was about the forest, wetlands, and deserts that can be found in Utah.

The pedagogy we are using for this project is letting the students find and see different parts of Utah. They actually get to see the different landforms. It is a lot more interactive than just looking at a map.

The technology that we used was GoogleEarth. GoogleEarth was a perfect fit for this project, because students could navigate themselves through Utah and find the wetlands, desert, and forest.

The Tech Savvy Teacher

The Tech Savvy Teacher

We have found as the students have been coming into our classroom that they are extremely interested in the world of technology. Think about how many of your students have cell phones, computers, iPods, etc. They are technologically savvy! We, as their teachers, need to keep up with them in this fast-paced world. As we plan our lessons, we need to always have technology in mind so that we truly become a tech-savvy teacher and help our students be the best in this competitive world.

In this science activity, our objective was to help our 4^th grade students achieve core standard five which states: “Students will understand the physical characteristics of Utah’s wetlands, forests, and deserts.” Each student was given an outline of the shape of Utah.

Map of Wetlands, forest, and deserts.

On this map, they were to identify and label using different colors the different physical characteristics of Utah. We discussed the different physical characteristics of each of these areas so students could distinguish between the different landforms.

Students were given the opportunity in small groups to look at Utah from outer space using Google Earth on the classroom computers to aide them in shading in their Utah maps.

Google Earth is a program that can be accessed through the internet to view the world from outer space to identify different physical characteristics. As children explore the world using this technology, they are able to observe and analyze the different wetlands, forests, and deserts in Utah compared to other areas in the world. This is a good opportunity for students because they can become more proficient using the internet and also see areas of the world they may never visit. We have found this to be an effective tool in involving the student in their own learning process. Children need to have the opportunity to learn independence and this activity provides what they need to explore using their own technology skills.
