I have developed a storyboard that will produce a product that is an example of what the students are expected to create. It also serves as a reference tool to provide back story to the project. It would be utilized early in the semester as a teaser of what is to come in the exploration of the WV Mine Wars of the 1920s, as well as an example of what the students are expected to create in the end. This presentation, when created in PowerPoint as a stand alone, animated slide show, would engage the students in discussion in the technology that is used to create such presentations. Google has an excellent presentation tool as does Jing. With coursework designed for 11th & 12th grade students this would early presentation would give them the opportunity to express themselves in the technology that they are comfortable using. For students with limited presentation experience they would be encouraged to utilize PowerPoint, although based upon the TrackStar project the students are working in groups. With encouragement students could be directed into working in groups that allow for co-learning of technology as well as subject content.
