When I teach I can use this activity to integrate technology and literature. The students can use digital video cameras to make their own iMovie. I can have them pick their own children’s literature or poem to dramatize, using my group’s video as an example to follow.  Students would create a story board and learn video techniques along with how to care for video cameras.  Students would also learn how to use the iMovie program in order to create the movie on DVD. 

Alignment:

I have met NET-S standards IB because I have used a very current program, iMovie, to create a state-of –the-art video production.

I have met NET-S standards IID because I have learned to manage technology resources such as digital cameras and video production equipment.  I learned how to use a digital camera, tripod, and learned ways to take care of my digital video camera tape.  When I teach, I will be able to show my students how to do this.

I have met NET-S standards VI B by allowing all students in the class the opportunity to participate in the iMovie activity which is a hands on task that would allow for a variety of students with learning or physical disabilities to be apart of the project. 

I have met DPI standard 6, indicator 1 and standard 12 because we used drama and video arts in the creation of our iMovie. We also created props and a story board to help with the planning of the iMovie.
