Project Description
Empowering students to work
effectively together, enabling them to
feel confident in their skills and
abilities, and developing presentation
skills for later projects is an important
first project in Introduction to Digital
Technology. In this project, students
complete a personality profile, use their
strengths to work together, and present
their product to the class.
Students selected a nursery rhyme and
created a website about the rhyme. The
project involved designing the graphics,
banner, and buttons for the site, writing
the content for the site, and organizing
a four-page website.
Students were tasked with creating a
promotional video for the CTAE
Department. The video will be used to
promote the programs to the middle
school and broader community. The
process of the project is for them to
storyboard, prepare a presentation
proposal for the customer, film, and
edit the video.
Students will use Adobe Flash to create
a multi-scene animated movie featuring
objects they draw and animate using
keyframe animation.

information.

devices to access, organize, process, transmit, and communicate information.
Daily Assignments/Skills Prior to Project:
Students completed personality profile questionnaires to discover their personal strengths and
weaknesses.
Students were divided into groups by personality type to share their areas of strength and things
they find difficult when working with groups.
Students were placed into teams with varied personality types and shared their personality
profiles and strengths. Specific tasks were assigned to each member based upon their strengths.
The group made a Flower Power Team Flower. Each student wrote their name on a pedal with
three strengths. Together they selected three group strengths and named their team. The team
name and strengths were written on the center of the flower. The flowers were posted around the
room.
A discussion was led on group norms, maximizing strengths, and working effectively.
Elements of effective teamwork was discussed and the role of the leader explained.
Students wrote and practiced personal introductions and 30-second elevator speeches to develop
skill in introducing themselves and a topic in a presentation. The function of a PowerPoint was
discussed to prevent students from reading the slides to the class.
The problem solving process for the project was discussed with the class.
Students were given a product to begin the project and presented with the structure of the
presentation/commercial.
