I like slideshows for projects, but I hate when student make slideshows. Let me explain. Every time a student presents a powerpoint, they end up just reading directly from the slide. Itès frustrating. So, when I read this post it cought my interest, so i adprted it for my own needs.
Here is an excerpt:
"In this assignment you will be studying one particular aspect of WWII and creating a video Slide Show (with voice over) detailing the information to the class."
I provided links and questions to answer. The students had 5 classes to finish the project.
I needed more time. The project really caught my Grade 12's interest and some of them really put some solid work into it. The best part was that students that were not even familiar with MovieMaker had very few technical difficulties. the learning seemed to be richer. We shall see.
