TECHNOMOVIE TECHNOLOGY PROJECT

PowerPoint Lesson Plans

Teacher Guide - Student Workbook - Resource Files

Have students become DIGITAL STORYTELLERS.  Follow the detailed PowerPoint lesson plans in TechnoMovie to tell a digital story about adventures in a magical place.

A Wacky and Wonderful Adventure

In TechnoMovie, students become digital storytellers. Using Microsoft PowerPoint, they create an animated production that tells the story of a child who journeys into another world and the events that occur during their travels.

In the tradition of such stories as Alice in Wonderland, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and The Wizard of Oz, the character leaves the world they know and enters a mystical place. Using digital photographs, video clips, and animated gifs this fabulous story comes to life, with a voice narration explaining each exciting event.

Become a Star

Students "star" in their own digital story as the main character. Follow the detailed instructions in TechnoMovie to edit digital photos to remove the background. This makes it easy to place a picture of each student right into the story action.

 

Plan a Digital Story

Use the organizer in the TechnoMovie technology project to plan and organize the events in the digital story. Students use the following questions as a guide:

  • How do you enter the new world?
  • What do you see when you get to the new world?
  • What happens to you when you are in this strange place?
  • How do you get home?

 

Digital Storytelling with Microsoft PowerPoint

In the TechnoMovie technology project are detailed PowerPoint instructions for beginners. Students are guided through the process of making an animated digital story. They learn how to:

  • format the background color of a slide
  • select a suitable slide layout
  • add text to a text box and format the appearance
  • insert a new slide
