Students used iPads and the school’s iMac lab to research information on topics relating to the Middle Ages. These topics included knights, the Crusades, the Inquisition, Magna Carta, Kiev Rus, Feudal System, Manorial System, Black Death, chivalry, social classes, crowning of Charlemagne, medieval warfare, guilds,William the Conqueror and castles. Students enjoyed making these projects their own by adding educational videos and medieval music.
Some students went beyond using available materials and created their own videos using iMovie and greenscreen Technology. One group wrote and performed their own rap song and added it to their posters. Students enjoyed using their iPads to present their work on the classroom interactive prjojector to Superintendent Dr. Eric Conti. This was an excellent example of how technology can be used in a class to enhamce learning and incorporate the District’s 1:1 initiative.
The students were very proud of their work, as was Mrs. Volpe!
