Reinforcing Language Arts Concepts Through Filmmaking PowerPoint NETS-S LessonGrades PK-2ndBy Sarah Taylor

What are NETS-S?

National Educational Technology Standards for Students

How can NETS-S Standards and

Language Arts standards be

integrated for Kindergarten

Communicate about technology using developmentally appropriate and accurate

terminology (6)I would begin with a lesson introducing the equipment: camera, tripod,microphone, boom pole, clapper board, etc.

Illustrate and communicate original ideas and stories using digital tools and media-rich

resources (1, 2)

Pre Production• We would identify a curriculum area that needs

reinforcement (i.e. letter sounds, word families, rhyming words)

• The class would brainstorm together on what the movie should be about. This would utilize story mapping to organize the ideas.

Illustrate and communicate original ideas and stories using digital tools and media-richresources (1, 2)In pairs, students will then use the story

map to create a storyboard for the project using a computer program such as Kid Pix.

Demonstrate the safe and cooperative use of technology(5)

Production

All film making would be highly structured and supervised. Small groups would work together on filming portions of the project.

In a collaborative work group, use a variety of technologies to produce a presentation or product in a curriculum area (1,2,6)

Post Production The whole class would be involved in the editing of the

film. This will be achieved by using a laptop, iMovie, and a projector or smart board where the class can fully participate in the editing process.

Publishing

By the end of the year I would expect

my kindergarten students to create a

movie and publish it to our class

website. This will incorporate language

arts, technology, interpersonal skills and

improve self-esteem.
