Meaningful Learning in an Information Age: Movie

An authentic experience

Broadcast every morning to the school and the children get the information through the world wide web. The students obtain information about the weather to use in their daily report to the school.

Microsoft PowerPoint presentation software is used to add color and effects to the PowerPoint. The students have files that they keep all the information in and use the same file to hold information of the newscast such as the script.

Camera was used with the insertion of a floppy disc. The editing of the video was done using an outdated source. Word processing was used when writing the scripts.

The students explain and help each other out when using the camera and filming the newscast. With the help of all involved the use of technology seems to be comprehensive. The use of technology helps the students interact with each other on an advanced level and with social interaction and peer-teaching the product seems to be very successful.

In regards to an authentic experience, the students taught other students about the weather and news but other than that the teacher was not really present in the video.
