The topic of my lesson is
Culture.
The objective is knowing
and embracing different cultures.
The students will use
iMovie to create a digital story about their culture.
Part 1 – Technology
As
diversity in our school population increases, students must know each other’s
culture in music, dance, art, food, and language. Vyvial (2021) states culture
is a way of life shared by people in a place or time. I chose iMovie in that I have never used it
but thought it is an excellent technology tool to enhance engagement. iMovie technology tool has recently been used
by educators to bring life into the lessons taught in the classroom. It can be
used for classroom projects where students work in groups to create iMovie to
include music, sound, text, and photos. iMovie can be used to create a summary
of a book read and the plot of the story.
iMovie can be used in storytelling where
students use digital images, pictures, and music. This lesson encourages
students to explore the different cultures among themselves and to share and
embrace these different cultures.
This technology was
beneficial for student learning as students were able to create videos with
effects and music that bring out their different cultures and the meaning of
each culture. Students were able also to teach other students to make their
movies and to apply video effects and music.
Part 2 - Differentiation
Roiha et al state that
differentiation has become an indispensable teaching approach to meet the needs
of diverse learners. It is a pedagogical approach to teaching that is adjusted
to meet the needs of individual learners. One way I could use technology to
differentiate my lesson plan is for the high students they will create videos
to share with other students. Students can acquire the skills necessary and
understand the objectives of the lesson. Some students will be grouped based on
their interest and can create a technology-based project and they will use a
video for their presentation. The Low
students are students who need assistive technology to help them. They will be able to speak into the assistive
devices and create their movies. They
too will understand the objectives of the lesson as I will support students and
check for understanding.
One
way I could provide an alternative form of instruction is to use another
technology the name, FlexClip. Students
use this software to create engaging videos with ready-made templates, motion
already preset, and a built-in library. Students can create voice recordings
and slideshows with music. Another great feature of FlexClip is that it
provides users with thousands of media files and animated elements.
