Students need technology skills to explore, research, organize and evaluate information in order to function well in a technology-literate society. With this goal in mind, our teacher advisors found engaging and fun ways to improve learning, productivity and performance using a variety of computer and digital media tools.

Movie Making in the Classroom
Create a long-term impact in your classroom by documenting learning through multi-media movie making tools. In this lesson, students create a cell music video as well as an interview with a cell.
Researching Arizona: The Grand Canyon State
Arizona is the Grand Canyon State. Students brainstorm ideas about the state and pick three topics of interest to research as an opportunity for them to learn important historical facts and develop a deeper understanding of the community they live in. Students are allowed to do the entire project by themselves using the Internet for research and Keynote presentation software for the final project.
Make a Novel Movie!
Instead of waiting for a Hollywood movie studio to produce a film version of a popular novel, enlist the creativity of your students to make their own. Storyboarding, researching, and learning the art of film-making is the ULTIMATE way to test comprehension and increase learning about the novel style of literature.
