MULTI-MEDIA

AUTHORING TEMPLATE

Name: Jackson Grant

PART A: Describe how students could create and publish an original movie, audio file, podcast, or vodcast in order to achieve
required learning standards. Challenge: For an A provide an idea where the learning activity reaches a LoTi level 4a or
above. To do this you will have to design a project where students engage in higher-order thinking and publish their work to an
audience that will use or care about the results. Broad feedback for their work is also a great way to boost interest and
performance.
Grade Level: 10th
Content Area: World History
Technology Used (check all that apply): Movie Audio Podcast Vodcast Other: (list)

Content Area/Grade/Standards/Topics Addressed:

SSWH18: Examine the major political and economic factor that shaped world societies between World War I and World War II

ISTE3: Model digital age work and learning.


Brief Description of Learning Experience:
As a teacher, I have made the example video for the students. The project will be introduced after the conclusion of our World
Wars unit. The teacher will introduce this as a capstone project for this unit. The students will be tasked with creating a story-like
video of a famous leader during the World Wars. The students will be required to have pictures, music, and video clips of their
specific leader. This project should take about a week because the students will need to do research before the creation of their
video.
The audience is basically just for the class members as the teacher wont require them to post it online. The videos will be
assessed by the teacher based on a rubric that the teacher gives the students that outlines the requirements of their video. The
teacher will watch the videos that are submitted by the students and grade it based upon the given rubric. The teacher will the
provide feedback to students by writing on the rubric that was used to grade the video.

Student Engagement/Higher-Order Thinking: What LoTi level would this lesson be and Why?
I would say this lesson is a LoTi level 3, but could possibly be a 4. The reason why it is a 3 is because the lesson is very student
centered and the students are actually able to create something. However, the only thing keeping it from being a level 4 is that it
really isnt applying the content to learning in the real world.

Importance of technology: Why is using a multimedia authoring tools critical to the project? Could the project be
completed without this technology? What would be lost without using it? What other types of technology, if any, are
going to be used in the learning experience?
This project could not be completed without technology. The whole point of this lesson is to get students to use technology to
enhance their learning. The whole project would really be lost without these technology tools. Students can use outside
technology if they need too, such as if they are more familiar with other software or tools. As long as they fit and adhere to the
rubric guidelines, they can implement anything they want.
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 youd minimize risks to
students/yourself, alleviate any fears by parents/administrators, and follow school districts Internet Safety/Use Policy.
