Lesson idea implementation:

After learning our unit on important people from 1950-1975 students will be creating their own movie about
any person from the unit. We will watch an example that I made on John F. Kennedy. We will go to the
computer lab where I would have everyone open up IMovie or Windows Movie Maker, whichever we have
access to, and I would make sure everyone understands the different tools in a tutorial session. Students would
then have the ability to begin creating their movie.

Once everyone has created their movie we will have a day to present for everyone who wants to share their
movie with the class. I would post them online on our blog with parental permission. They would get feedback
throughout the creation of their movie since I would be monitoring and making sure everyone has audio and a
minimum number of pictures/videos. Differentiation would include extra assistance from me as needed and
more challenging requirements for students who need that.

Importance of technology:

Using this software is critical for the success of the lesson. Without it there would be no creation of a movie
which is the whole point of the lesson. They will also be using the internet to search for appropriate photos
and videos.

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 you would (1)
minimize risks to students/yourself; (2) alleviate any fears by parents/administrators, and (3) follow common
Internet Safety/Acceptable Use Policies.

Since a little research is required to do this project as well as searching for images/videos, we would definitely
need to have a discussion about Internet Safety and what websites are okay to use throughout the creation of
their movie. I would clear the project with proper administration and encourage parents to also go over
Internet Safety at home to make sure everyone is on the same page.
