Microsoft MovieMaker II - Evolution of Technology: Teacher Introduction

by Rosie Uyola, Edison High School

Microsoft Movie Maker WebQuest by Rosalie Uyola and Lydia Rajsz. Explore the history of technology in a new, exciting online project.

Teacher Introduction

First, learners will research one type of technology. Next, the learners will synthesize their research by creating a storyboard and MovieMaker presentation within collaborative learning groups. Finally, the learners will present their research as a MovieMaker presentation to the rest of the class via proxima (projector).

We created this lesson for five reasons:

To introduce the MovieMaker software as part of classroom technology integration.
To familiarize students with on-line research and use of credible sites as sources.
To motivate students to interpret and connect with their peers’ ideas during collaborative work.
To lead students into a synthesis of numerous web research sites with different formats.
To provide learners with an opportunity to practice presenting in front of an audience.
