Blog #7/Video #4

My culminating proposal will focus on how technology lessons will affect my incoming sixth grade class and if the lessons will improve their basic computer skills. My final video will portray a realistic experience that some of my students may encounter since I work in a low-socioeconomic area where not all families have home computers with internet access. Thus, some students' computer skills are not up to par to those with computer access. Although my lessons are not fully designed, I will also introduce the different computer topics that will be taught to next year's class.

Story Core: To explain the problem, I will create a realistic story of two friends who are assigned to work on a school project. They encounter some computer issues because one friend (Student A) has computer access at home, while the other one (Student B) does not. Student A becomes upset because Student B can't help out with the research component at home, while Student B feels embarrassed about not being able to put forth the same amount of effort. The two friends finally ask the teacher for help! Will it be enough?

Storyboard: My video displays a rough sketch of what I would incorporate for my final video. I will be taking actual pictures and using video recordings (of my students) to explain my story core as well as screen shots of my possible technology lesson integration.
