EDTECH: Focus On K-12 – Unleash Your Digital Natives
“Lesson Description:
Students will create their own multimedia presentation. During this lesson, students can choose from a variety of video or sound sources online or they can use audio provided by the teacher. Students will use a software editing program to capture the sound and export it as a WAV file.

Once they have all the images and video, they can join them with the audio to create movies.”

buy-in. ULS’s hula class spends the semester gearing up for a
final performance, and Hamilton’s seventh graders forget how
hard they’re working on their writing when they focus on creating
podcasts. “When I tell students they are going to create a
podcast of their own stories, they get excited,” she says. “This
buy-in from the students gives them a purpose to learn new
skills and a reason to come to school.”
