Assignment:

Create a multimedia artifact that fulfills a common educational purpose.

1. Select a significant purpose typical of your discipline/grade level.

My name is:  Katelyn Fish

My content area/discipline is:  English Teaching

The grade level I plan to teach is:  8th Grade

The typical educational purpose I will address is:  Syllabus and Introduction to the class

My reason for choosing this purpose is:  Every class needs a syllabus--it conveys the appropriate information to both students and parents, and helps parents better know how to support their child’s learning.

Identify an optimal multimedia artifact for accomplishing the purpose.

Explore possible technological tools for creating the artifact. Audio Editing Tools Digital Storytelling Tools Engineering Tools Graphic Design Tools Interactive Whiteboards Mathematical Reasoning Tools Mobile Devices (Cell phones, iPads, pen tablets, etc.) Music Authoring Tools Photo Editing Tools Presentation Tools Recording Tools Scientific Probes Spreadsheets Video Editing Tools Web Authoring Tools Word Processing Tools Instructor-Approved Tool

Select a tool to create the artifact.  The tool(s) I will use: twinery.org Create the artifact, ensuring it fulfills intended purposes. 6)  What have you done to try to evaluate sources for bias and avoid biased portrayals of diverse identities?  Why is this important? This medium will be accessible and user-friendly for every student. If students prefer, I will provide a hard copy of this class introduction/syllabus.
