Name the lesson: Lesson Plan 5: Summarizing by TextMessaging Shakespeare
What technology is needed: A cell phone (basic or
smart) with the capability to take pictures and make a phone call. Also a computer with Web access.
Age it is appropriate for: Ages 11-18, Grade 6-12
How would it be used: The English students will text
their 140-character summaries of the homework reading from Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet to an interactive Web screen.
What benefit does it have for students: Each student
can take on a particular character from the play and textmessage based on their characters thoughts and actions from each scene. They can interpret the play in writing, summarize scenes, work as groups, and be able to use text messaging to demonstrate interpretation.
What benefit does it have for teachers: The teacher
can set up a new interactive text-messaging screen on his or her Wiffiti account. The teacher can also go over mobile safety and appropriate use and the teacher can project the Wiffiti along with the information on how to text to the screen. This use of technology is convenient for both the teacher and the student and is also a fun way of learning.
Name the lesson: Lesson Plan 7: Using Basic Digital
Cameras to Engage Reluctant Writers
What technology is needed: Digital cameras
(standalone or contained in devices such as Nintendo DSi or cell phone); computer loaded with software such as PowerPoint, MS Photostory, or iMovie, (or even mobile apps) that allow the creation of slideshows/podcasts; printer
Age it is appropriate for: Ages 11-18, Grade 6-12
How would it be used: The technology will be used by
bringing the power of mobile learning into the classroom. The students will be able to create slideshows and tell a story.
What benefit does it have for students: The students
can write a description of the scenes to contrast a retelling
of a story. The can use the computer using the software or
they can use the mobile devices with appropriate apps. This is a fun way of learning for the students and will make their writing assignment seem less overwhelming, especially for those students that struggle with writing.
What benefit does it have for teachers: The teacher
will have the advantage of using the story text in writing or speech for later assessment, as needed. The teacher can also give the advanced students a set of scenes created by different groups and have them order the scenes to create a narrative. This is an easy and organized way to teach and offers less paper use for the teacher.
