Lesson Plan for: Silent No More By Rosie Ayers Target Audience: Elementary School
Summary & Rational: Students will create short silent films (action driven) with flip video camera or digital cameras. Next student will create sound effects and voice over for each other’s silent films. They will also combine the videos and sound with either Movie Maker or Cam Studio software.
Create a visual performance based on simple and understandable storytelling-beginning, middle, and end
Learn and explore digital video capture
Design and audio track/narrative for another students short film
Exposing students to the basic technology associated with digital visual storytelling and audio recording.
Technology Used: Windows Movie Maker, Microsoft Sound Recorder, Cam Studio or like software, Flip Video, Self, Audacity.
Enduring Idea Storytelling/communication and transferring vision through technology into watchable material
Learning Targets/Objectives: 1. I can define and identify elements of a story 2. I can translate ideas into digital story and visual/audio art 3. I can collaboratively create theatrical story 4. I can use these ideas and elements within personal and community performance 5. I can relate the use of technology in storytelling in my personal art and community
Artmaking Method Taught Story creation, acting, directing, videography, sound recording, software/computer manipulation

Lesson Plan for: iPhoto Lesson Plan By Polly Huppert
Target Audience: Middle School
Lesson Description: Students will demonstrate knowledge of each component of a slideshow including how to format, rearrange photos into
an order, and add background music and additional components available using iPhoto. Evidence of student engagement
in the lesson will be measured through the end product. Students in my classes often have many learning disabilities, are
non-music readers and have a hard time working in a group. This lesson may take longer than I have planned, but typically
I work towards one week units.
Lesson Outcomes: Day 1: Students will take photos using a digital camera, either the schools’ or their own personal device, OR they will bring
in photos from home on a disc or flash drive. The photos are about one topic and will need to tell a story. Discuss some
ideas for stories and have students approve their choices with me. I will show students a couple of examples of slideshows
that I have completed.
Day 2: Students will transfer their photos from disc/flashdrive onto the school computer. Students can begin to choose
which photos they will use in their story and begin to work on an order for them. They will need to choose a title for their
slideshow, make sure their photos are appropriate and support their story, and decide which style of photo presentation
to use. They will have time to explore their options today.
Day 3: Students will continue this work along with putting photos in the final order.
Day 4: Students will add any additional features to their slide show, including music.
Day 5: Students will present their final projects to the class. Materials: Mac iPhoto, disc with their photos to upload (no internet access to download photos otherwise)
Technology Used: Digital Camera, iTunes, iPhoto
Learning Targets/Objectives: 1. Students will learn how to take photos on a mobile or personal device. 2. Students will learn how to load photos onto a disc and onto the school computer. 3. Students will demonstrate how their chosen photos support their topic for the slideshow.
Subject: Students will use iPhoto to produce a slideshow centered around a topic of their choice. The slideshow will tell a narrative,
or story.

Lesson Plan for: Wordle By Loree Campbell
Target Audience: High School
Lesson Description: This lesson will provide the student with the opportunity to learn about some typical Hispanic holidays, and to learn some vocabulary associated with each one. The student will pick 3 different articles to read about different holidays, and we will have a short discussion in class. Then the student will generate a list of 20 words associated with each of the holidays that they picked, (a total of 60 words). The student will translate the words into Spanish, using either real dictionaries, or virtual dictionaries. The student will be introduced to Moodle. They will enter their words, and print out their designs. The designs will be posted around the room, and other students will view them reading through the words in order to identify the holiday.
Materials: Dictionaries, computer, printer, Wordle website, articles about several Hispanic holidays
Technology Used: www.wordle.net, computers, printer
Learning Targets/Objectives: 1. Students will learn about several Hispanic holidays 2. Students will be exposed to vocabulary that is associated with several Hispanic holidays. 3. Students will be able to associate that vocabulary with the correct holiday
Subject: Hispanic holidays

Lesson Plan for: Paper 53 as Illustration Tool By Gwendolyn Landquist
Target Audience: Higher Education
Lesson Description: The goal of this lesson is to introduce students to Paper 53 and similar touch screen applications as an illustration tool and alternative to traditional tablet drawing devises. Students will be assigned a design project Using Adobe FormsCentral, for an upcoming event that requires multiple deliverables to be designed (posters, web graphics etc.). Student will then be asked to use paper 53 to design either the type elements, graphics or both to be used in the production of the requested deliverables. Students will then export their Paper 53 illustrations to Adobe Illustrator for the final type setting and layout design. The final series of materials will be printed for final group critique.
Materials: Computer, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe In Design, Paper 53, Stylus, Use of desired typefaces and supplemental graphics.
Technology Used: Adobe FormsCentral, Paper 53, Adobe Illustrator
Learning Targets/Objectives: 1. Students will learn Paper 53 2. Students will learn Tech-Assisted Illustration 3. Students will merge technologies to create
final project
4. Students will develop skills to lesson dependence on canned graphics.
5. Student will critique the final projects and be asked to articulate the processes used.
