As I had mentioned in an earlier blog, I had my students create digital post cards. I have limited resources and was not sure how this would go over so I selected three students to work on the project, bribing them with extra credit.
The project took my students two class periods to complete. The first class was story boarding the ideas, writing dialogue and collecting images. The second class was putting them together in imove. Though I made a few adjustments to the project once it was submitted, the end result is that of the students.
I ran in to a few snags along the way. Getting app loaded onto school computers was a hassle...at least that is what the tech lady lead me to believe. Getting the postcards to imove took some ingenuity, (I had the students save the post cards then email them to me. I opened them up as a photo and dragged and drooped them into the imove on my computer. All things considered I believe the project was a success.
I will have the students engage in this type of project in the spring. This will allow to work with the tech department instead of spring it on them. The main thing is that the students developed a better understanding of the Persian War and had fun doing it.
