5. A sample activity you would implement using this technology
a. To learn about history
i. 5.3.10 Using historical maps and other geographic representations/texts
(written, maps, graphs, timelines, etc.) locate and explain the conflict over
the use of land by Native American Indians and the European colonists.
Examples: Explain how economic competition for resources, boundary
disputes, cultural differences and
control of strategic locations
contributed to these conflicts.
ii. Could reuse an interview with a museum worker or historian, and edit the
video to show during class
1. Could be used as a teaching tool
2. Could be used as reinforcement method for the information in the
textbook
3. Eliminate a field trip

This activity was interesting, because for the tool that I chose, it would be easy to
use year after year. I thought it might be fun to get the same experience from a museum
expert or something similar in an interview format, and then I could edit the video to
teach or use as a teaching reinforcement about the curriculum. I think that this would
work really well with an interview with a soldier for explanation about war with middle
school students. I think that this could also be a cost efficient way for schools to
incorporate a field trip learning experience without the cost of the trip. Teachers could
split up work and video tape and record the specific exhibits that they want the students
to learn about, and that way an entire day isnt wasted, and students take away the
intended focus, rather than the craziness of the other activities that come with field trips.
