Work Scenario

Bessie Stieglitz
I have been assigned to teach my kindergarten class a multi subject lesson based on the

book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. This lesson must have a project that can be presented to the

students parents at parent-teacher conferences the following week. The lesson should be

interesting for the students as well as educational. The lesson will include a Powtoon, a

Piktochart, and digital story. I will add all of these elements to a Glogster after they are created.

Powtoon is a website that is used to create animated videos. The videos can include

audio, pictures, and animated characters. The Powtoon I will create is a read aloud version of

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. I will record my voice reading the book. I will also add animations

that correspond with what I am reading. I will show the Powtoon halfway between the beginning

of the lesson when I read the book and the end of the lesson. The Powtoon will be a quick

reminder of what the book was about.

Piktochart is a website that can be used to create infographics. Infographics are made up

of mostly visuals that can be used to inform others. I will create two Piktocharts. The first

Piktochart will be a worksheet for the students math lesson. I will add different amounts of

coconuts, that the students will have to count and then write the number. The math worksheet

will also include an addition section where the students have to add the amount of leaves on two

different trees. The next Piktochart will be a worksheet for the student’s literacy lesson. The

students will have to trace the letters that are shown on the sheet.

I will use the editing software WeVideo to create a digital story. The digital story will

include different students in the class retelling the events that occured in the book, Chicka

Chicka Boom Boom. After I have all the footage of the students, I will use WeVideo to edit the

videos. I can use WeVideo to combine multiple clips into one video. I will edit it to have smooth

transitions between clips. I can also separate the audio from the video if I need to edit the audio. I

will also add a title screen and a credits page to the video.

When all the elements are created I will add them all to the Glogster, an interactive

digital poster, I created for the lesson. The Glogster will show the parents the materials the

students used to learn the lesson as well as the finished project, the digital story. All this

technology created different ways I could help the students enjoy the lesson. Technology like

Powtoons can be both educational and entertaining. Piktochart makes it possible for me to create

worksheets the way I want. I wouldn’t be stuck using a worksheet that doesn’t involve all the

aspect that I want, because it is the only one created for the lesson. A digital story is a great way

to assess the child. By their response in the video I can see if they understood the concept and

events in the story. A digital story is also fun to create so the students wouldn’t get bored with

the projects. Parents also love to see work their child created. Technology has not made teaching

necessarily easier, but it has increased the amount of ways that students can be taught.

Technology has also made learning more enjoyable for students.
