Keep students on task with video tutorials! This is the second of an 8-part set of video tutorials designed to guide students through the process of using Microsoft Word's intermediate and advanced tools to create a "History Giggle" poster. During the 8-part series, students will hear the teacher's voice and see her mouse movements as they learn how to use the following tools in Word 2003: Page Borders; WordArt; Font Color; AutoShapes; Lines; Fill Color; Font Style; Font Size; Basic Shapes; Scribble; Line Color; Right-Drag-Copy; Image Rotate; Grouping; Image Flip; Invisible Shapes; Callouts.
The videos were designed to help differentiate instruction in the computer lab at our school. They allow advanced students work independently in challenging themselves with increasingly complex tasks, while freeing up the teacher to assist any students who are struggling. Teachers can have the students view the videos as is, or they can simply use the videos as guidelines for creating their own lesson plans.
This particular video is 3 minutes long, and the others in the series are each 3-7 minutes long. Students can work independently by watching the video, pausing/rewinding as necessary to review the techniques, and then attempting the steps to complete the project on their own. (Please note that at one point, the video directs students to access a folder on their computer that might be in a different place than it is on your computer). The project will take approximately five or six 30-minute sessions for most students to complete. At the end of the project, each student will have a unique poster with their own mouse-drawn cartoon characters telling a history joke, as well as a better understanding of how to use Microsoft Word.
Note: All of the videos are in AVI format, but they have been zipped to make uploading easier. To unzip them, you can download WinZip for free. Then, all you have to do is right-click on the file to open it and play the video. I have also created an optional color-coded list of “Steps for Creating a History Poster” and a list of copyright-free “History Jokes” which you can find in my Teacher’s Palette store.
