(Digital Story)

October 12, 2011

Content meant for Social Studies in Middle School or High School Students

My Digital Story consists of images and brief clips of videos. I was able to construct a digital story that touches base with Civil Rights and the steady growth of acceptance today.

Ø ISTE-S Standards-

Diverse Learners:

Students will get the opportunity to view history through images and small clips of historical data. Instead of approaching history through reading we will take the visual approach to catch every student’s skill and attention level.

Communication and Technology:

Students will get the opportunity to watch and evaluate the digital story provided. Then the student will write a paragraph on what they thought the story was conveying.

Ø Montana State Standards-

Social Studies Standard 2: Students will analyze how people create and change structures of power, authority and governance to understand the operation of government and demonstrate civic responsibility.

Social Studies Standard 6: Students will demonstrate an understanding of the impact of human interaction and cultural diversity on societies.

Ø Common Core Standards-

Students will develop a higher order of thinking and ways to problem solve. This will be a way to improve the student’s motivation in the classroom. Integrating technology in the classroom will influence a wider range of academic knowledge in students, who are special needs or lower performing.

The Students will gain a new perspective of integrating technology in the classroom. They will be able to see by my example what needs to be achieved through visual expression. When I give the history assignment they will be able to create a short film of their own and they will be able to effectively execute a digital story.
