This week we did something really fun with technology. We created a news program with our class with the show taking place in ancient civilizations. The students had to come up with four stories about different topics and we recorded their news programs on a video camera. We then turned the video into a DVD with a little bit of music and some headings and watched it with them the next day. The kids really enjoyed it and it was fun to see them on camera and see them use their imaginations.
Despite all our attempts to use technology in the field we had some success and we had some failure. It definitely takes some time to plan it out and make sure that everything will work, but it is great to see students learning through technology. Our teacher was great too. He makes a lot of PowerPoint's to help the students visualize information and to make a lecture a little more interactive. It would be nice to have a projector like he does in my classroom to be able to replicate what he does, but one does have to be careful because it is very easy just to sit and lecture with a PowerPoint.
