Quicktime multimedia movie files on CD-ROM, with still images, motion video, computer graphics, and audio. Still frame from a student film. Students generated their own computer graphics and set sequenced pictures to music. Still image sequences often used video transitions. Here, an image is shifting from a single person shot to a two person shot using a video wipe.
Instrumental music is a mandatory skill in sixth grade.
In gathering source material for their projects, the students worked closely with an oboist and violinist from the Milwaukee Symphony, as well as the Symphony staff. They learned how to compose music on a computer and perform them on their instruments. The multidimensional use of the computer and peripheral technologies enhanced student performance in the classroom. Also, gaining the ability to critique the work of others, as well as their own, played a critical role in the success of their projects. This project will also be infused into the Language Arts curriculum.
