Rationale
|
| |
|
|
|
This unit of work requires students to research of magazines, internet and newspaper articles and make use of personal experiences to note issues of mobile phone use for young teenagers.
Students need to analyze and discuss ways of overcoming some of the problems that mobile phone ownership may cause young people. Students design and develop a kahootz expression summarizing their findings.
This Xpression can then be used to educate other teenagers.
|
| |
|
|
Student Tasks

|
|
 |
Research and investigate the problems that mobile phones may cause.
|
|
Brainstorm and share their findings in small groups and then report to the class as a whole.

Research various mobile phone ownership plans prepaid vs contract and note the benefits and pitfalls of both. |
|
|
Write up a minimum one page report summarizing and discussing the research results with recommendations for 14-16 year olds considering a mobile phone purchase.
|
|
|
|
In small groups brainstorm ideas on possible approaches and designs for a digital movie summarizing these findings.

|
|
| |

Each participant needs to:
|
| |
|
|
|
|
Fully research mobile phone issues for 14-16 year olds. |
|
Design a summarized script and story board the content of each scene. |
|
Use a broad range of kahootz features including most of the following :- notepad, swatching, inclusion of sound, a minimum of 5 scenes, smooth transition of scenes, appropriate worlds, keypointing, cloning, grouping objects. |
|
|
|
Each student will complete a self evaluation sheet. |
|

|
| |
|
| |
|
|
Increased knowledge of issues relating to mobile phone ownership.
|
|
Increased knowledge of overcoming these ownership issues.
|
|
Ability to animate theory learnt and to use a different media for educational and assessment purposes.
|
|
|
Experiment with a variety of animation techniques.
|
|
Objects required enlarging or reducing, introducing ideas of multiplication and ratio.
|
|
|
Use of swatching to make their scenes more realistic.
|

Collaborative Potential
|
| |
|
| |
|

The theory and research can be done in their humanities (economics) classes. |
|
|
The Xpressions can be shown to other classes and age groups for educational purposes.
|
|
|
Other students may be able to add to the expression or create another expression as a sequel if advice on mobile phone ownership is followed or not followed. Eg What if…. scenarios.
|
|
|
|
Students could develop written flyers, brochures or guides on:
- Sensible use of mobile phones.
- Tips on the use of mobile phones.
- Pitfalls to avoid.
- Alternatives to mobile phone use etc.
