After hearing the heartfelt and vulnerable words of our students, we encouraged them to put these sentiments on paper with Adobe Spark Video. We then helped them edit their words and voices in iMovie by paring their audio with their images. The result: an unforgettable experience for all.
We created different kind collaborative board running with the theme of "Think Again". We used our iPads and physical space to connect student ideas visually and fluidly. Students were tasked with rapid fire research and connections. First, one student selected an image or video related to Martin Luther King Jr. in the PBS Learning Media database. Once the other students saw what was presented, they quickly looked for a pictorial or video connection within the same database. The first to produce a piece of media with a valid connection, placed their iPad next to the original. Students then transitioned to the last image presented and continued from there.
Here is a sampling of the connections made by students:
Photo of Martin Luther King Jr. -> Photo of the hotel in which MLK Jr. was assassinated -> Video of his funeral procession -> Photo of his memorial with his speech engraved in stone -> Video of MLK Jr.'s famous, "I Have a Dream Speech"
This activity was anything but stagnant staring at a screen.
Our students were upset that so many people misunderstand technology in the classroom. They decided to reflect & educate. They read ISTE Student Standards and decided to use their iPads and Book Creator to show the power of Apple's iPad and what it means to them.
