Camp Technology Project

Fun Computer Lesson Plans
TechnoCelebrity Icon In this project, students play the role of tabloid reporters, writing about a celebrity makeover. Students create an interactive PowerPoint slide show that includes a morph video of the new look.

Part 1 Celebrity Sighting

The fun begins in TechnoCelebrity when students watch a sample celebrity makeover in Microsoft PowerPoint. The e-tabloid includes celebrity facts, a video of the celebrity morphing from their "before" picture into a new look, and a comment box for fans to write their opinions.

Students then select a celebrity. They learn how to use the Internet to research facts and locate pictures using the computer lesson plans.

While conducting the research, a planning sheet, provided with the TechnoCelebrity project, is used to record information about the famous person. 		Celebrity Planning Sheet - Students record facts about the celebrity using the handout.
