MULTI-MEDIA AUTHORING TEMPLATE

Name: Caitlin Haynes

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: Kindergarten
Content Area: Reading
Technology Used (check all that apply): Movie Audio Podcast Vodcast Other: (list)

ELACCKRL3 Key Ideas and Details:

With prompting and support, identify characters, settings, and major events in a
story.
Content Area/Grade/Standards/Topics Addressed:

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? Students will be learning how to identify certain elements of a story; characters, setting, and main
events. Students will listen to the story and discuss the elements of the story and draw a picture. The project will also be
posted on the class website so students can work on it at home with aid from parents. It should only take a day. The work
will be assessed by the teacher and will provide feedback.
Student Engagement/Higher-Order Thinking: What LoTi level would this lesson be and Why?
Which indicators of Engaged Learning are strong and why? This lesson has a lower LoTi level because the
students are not working alone. They are, however using creativity.
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? The project could still
happen without the multimedia, but the purpose is so that the students can experience their teacher
through another form of communication.
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.
