ABC book story board

Digital Storytelling-TPACK

What is the content we will be using?

We will be creating an ABC book by taking pictures of an item representing each letter of the alphabet.  Our storybook is for Kindergarten to help them recognize the letters of the alphabet, items that start with those letters, and recognizing how to spell the words. 

What is the pedagogy you are using and why is it a good fit with the content? 

Teachers can use this movie in their classrooms to allow the students to see the letters associated with pictures and words that start with that letter.  Incorporating books and other objects with the movie are a great way for students to be immersed in letters and words.  Allowing students to read aloud the letters and say the words with the pictures helps develop fluency. 

What is the technology you'll be using and why is it a good fit with the content and pedagogy? We will be using the program photostory to create our picture ABC book.  This is a great fit because it is simple to use and will allow students to successfully  see and understand the letters and pictures. 

TPACK QUESTIONS

What is the content you'll be using in your lesson?

We focused on friction and the effects of different objects making friction.  

What is the pedagogy you are using and why is it a good fit with the content?

We used discovery learning and collaborative learning that are both important pedagogical concepts.  Working in groups is an essential part of the learning process and helps children learn to work together and brainstorm together.  It is a great fit with content together because we were able to successfully learn about friction as well as technology. 

What is the technologoy you'll be using and why is it a good fit with the content and pedagogy? 

We used a probe to measure the temperature of the objects we used to make friction.  We used a program on the computer that tracks the temperatures and records it in a graph fashion.  This program made it so much more fun to measure friction and extremely easy to read!
