Technology Lessons
Grade 10 (English)
Throughout our media studies unit I was constantly using technology, both in presenting lesson material, and in student activities. The following is a lesson in photojournalism and photo manipulation. We begun our lesson with a game of truth or slander through the use of the PowerPoint. Students were to guess whether or not the pictures were retouched or not. By the end of the lesson they were also identifying the symbolic meaning of pictures through group collaborative posters and a poll everywhere. |
