Universal Design for Learning (UDL): ​I would have subtitles on the movie for the students who cannot hear or
are hard of hearing. I would also pair students who have a disability with students who do not have a
disability. For example a deaf student with a hearing student. That way the hearing student can help the deaf
student with the music part.
Lesson idea implementation: ​I would show the video that I created about the moon. I would explain how I
created it and then I would create groups and let the children make their own videos. I would allow the
children to choose from a list of approved topics I have chosen. Then they would post their video on the class
website so that other people, like their parents could view the movies.
I would introduce this topic whenever we started talking about the day and night sky. I would show the video
and have the students be able to work on it for a month or so. I will conclude the lesson by having a movie
day and we would show all of the movies that the students created. I would give them feedback when they
showed their movie. It would be did you create a video with all of the components? Yes or no?
Importance of technology: ​This project can not be done without technology. Without technology, the
children would not be able to make the video or share it on the class website/blog. The children will be using
the website discoveryeducation.com, google for images, and the iMovie app which can be downloaded on
iPhones or iPads.
Inspiration (optional): ​I go part of my video from discoveryeducation.com. I got the pictures from a google
image search. I got the music from iMovies.
Internet Safety and Student Privacy: ​I would minimize the risks to myself by making sure that the websites I
used with my students didn't have an age restriction. I would minimize the risks to the students by not
allowing them to post anything on the blog or class website that included their full name, address, email,
school, or age. I would alleviate fears of parents/administrators by making sure they knew I took the student's
safety seriously. I would have the parents okay the websites I would use in class.
Reflective Practice: ​I think that this activity is a great way for students to start learning the iMovie technology.
The app is very easy to use and after a couple tries, children could probably do it on their own.
