** EIPT 3043 Class Projects **

This page is dedicated to the class projects that I have accomplished in my Class EIPT 3043. This is the Smart Board Lesson that my classmates Grant and Stan and I completed. The theme was the Founding Fathers, and incorporated an online quiz, two handmade pages, and a borrowed lesson from a fellow teacher from Smarttech.com. The Smart Board is a great tool that any teacher can incorporate into his or her class.

Disclaimer: this can only be opened if you have the Smart Board program on your computer.



This is a short movie made in iMovie that Grant, Stan, and I filmed and edited. Making a movie would be a great project to have students do for almost any class, and is a great way to have them insert their creativity into a piece of homework. It can also teach them cooperation skills when working in groups.

This is the Podcast that I made for class, and so far this was my favorite project to complete. It is the first in the //History Hour// series, and the episode is titled "Louis's Final Hour." The podcast runs 13:44 minutes. The bulk of the work is an interview session with my friend Joe Dzurik, who plays Louis XVI. I also had my sister, Mackenzie Whitman, and my dad, Richard Whitman, "call" in with questions to help facilitate a lesson on absolute and constitutional monarchy. Please see the Podcast Companion PDF for the links related to the Podcast. For Bonus points on the homework assignment, list the crazy story Louis tells about his parents, and the hobby he formed because of it.

The PDF below are the links mentioned in the podcast. Also, there are links to the literature mentioned in the summary on the podcast.



This PDF is the transcript to the Podcast above. It can be pulled up and read along with the audio. This could help students with hearing disabilities, learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, or allow any other student follow along and quickly highlight information they need to complete the homework assignment. Disclaimer: there is a key piece of information left out of the transcript. To complete the bonus, you need to listen to the Podcast carefully.
