integrate technology into compelling, standards-based lessons. Examples

Here are my handouts for iBard--using audio and performance to work with soliloquies. I'll be presenting with several others in a demonstration called There's Magic in the Web.
Here's the beginning of my activity's description.
When many students turn the page of a Shakespeare play and come to a soliloquy, they hit the invisible wall of reading—a frustratingly full page of uninterrupted text in dense and unfamiliar language, usually during an already challenging reading process.
Understanding the soliloquies can be a turnkey experience for students in the comprehension of plot, character, and Shakespeare’s language.
This activity uses audio technology to build on performance-based approaches to teach the soliloquies.
Students begin by slowing down the language and exploring its meaning and nuance through selected dramatic and choral reading techniques.
Many movies and some live performances enhance the dramatic effects of a soliloquy or speech with a voiceover or a disembodied voice.
These spoken interpretations are further enhanced with music, sound effects, and audio techniques such as reverberation and echo.
Film productions of Branaugh’s
Hamlet and Polanski’s
Macbeth offer examples of this technique...

DIGITAL SHAKESPEARE: THERE'S MAGIC IN THE WEB
There are exciting ways to use technology to teach Shakespeare
that go beyond playing the audio or video version of the play or
sending students to the Web to do a scavenger hunt. From the research
done at the Folger Shakespeare
Library's summer institutes, past participants will demonstrate some of
these ways, including using audio editing to understand a soliloquy,
illuminating and explicating texts with PowerPoint animation, and
integrating standards and performance into an on-line course.

original remixes on the Web legally and ethically.

| Overview of Copyright in Education |
|
| Overview of Copyright in Education (pdf) This is an introduction to copyright. A good primer for students and teachers. I use variations of this presentation in several of my courses and workshops. Students and participants have successful modified it and used it with their classes as well. |
|
| Introduction to MovieMaker |
|
| Introduction to Windows Moviemaker (pdf) This is a quick start for using Movie Maker. It introduces the basic features and procedures. |
|
| Audio Editing Using AUDACITY Software |
|
| Audio Editing Tutorial Using Audacity Software (pdf) This is a tutorial that would take about 90 minutes to do. It gives the basics to using the freeware audio editing program Audacity with an introductory activity. This is from a workshop "Rich Media in the K-12 Curriculum" |
|
| PowerPoint Guidelines Activity |
|
| PowerPoint Guidelines Activity (pdf) Shoot PowerPoint with its own bullets in this activity based on the principles of reflective practice. As a teacher and a public speaker I have seen (and done) very boring PowerPoints. This activity helps potential presenters reflect on the medium and the audience. It's a short but powerful activity that facilitates the judicious use of presentation technologies. I would recommend doing this for yourself or with students before a presentation. It is part of an extremely successful workshop "Conquering the Plateaus of Microsoft Office." |
