Digital Reflections: Expressing Understanding of Content through Photography
This project would work for multiple topics: science, geography, literature, etc. For my learning adventure I would have the student focus on a historical event. Students will explore both facts and feelings about a historical event and make self–text–world connections as they prepare a presentation using word-processing and presentation software. Students select photos from websites that demonstrate their content understanding and communicate their feelings on the topic. They write and record a two-minute descriptive or persuasive script and pair the script with the photos using presentation software, such as Photo Story.
To meet the needs for my learning outcome I would start by teaching how to create a digital story; how students can add pictures, video, text, and audio to personalize their story. Next, I would introduce researching information on the internet and how to evaluate those sites for accuracy. Finally, I would teach an overview of the historical event we are learning and then introduce the project.
This project supports multimodal learning because students are searching the internet for information. They will look for photos and videos to communicate their knowledge on the subject as well as their feelings. The students will take the information, photos, and videos to create a digital story using Photo Story. They will also write a script and record it to incorporate into their Photo Story.
