A DIFFERENT WAY TO INTRODUCE DONOGHUE V STEVENSON IN YEAR 12 CONSUMER LAW OR YEAR 10 COMMERCE!!
I found this video on YouTube and my Year 12 Legal Studies students loved it (although as usual the slow internet speed hampered my original ideas and the lesson ended up being a a race as to who could upload the video first!!)
Digital Story Telling presents so many possibilities I don't know where to begin. Podcasts, Vodcasts, Enhanced Podcasts - all these offer students to use a range of higher order thinking skills. In planning one of these students need to start with a mindmap of all the points they wish to include, then they need to create a storyboard to sequence their ideas and after this write a script. If they are presenting an enhanced podcast they need to sequence the photos or images with the written word and after that maybe add music. This is Bloom's taxonomy in action!! Such presentions allow students to effectively work in groups by allocating tasks and encouraging collaborative learning.
Such presentations could be used for fieldwork, for revision at the conclusion of a topic or for senior students preparing for final exams - to mention a few! And GarageBand is very easy for students to use and teach each other and the teacher!!
