All about Martin Luther King Jr.



Objective: Students will know who Martin Luther King Jr. is and why we celebrate this day every year and why he is important.

Standard Objective 5: Use technology tools (e.g., multimedia authoring, presentation, web tools, digital cameras, scanners) for individual and collaborative writing, communication, and publishing activities to create knowledge products for audiences inside and outside the classroom. 
  • This tool was very good to learn but it takes a lot of time to create something using this tool. I think this has a good purpose for certain topics, like showing a history of an event, person, animal, etc. It has some good uses but it is only effective if used in the proper setting. 
  • I think the kids would like learning from this because it is a different type of learning style. It would be a good thing to mix up in the schedule so that they don't get bored and stop paying attention. I also think this tool needs to be short and sweet because even a timeline can go on forever and students will stop paying attention.
  • I was planning on using this tool to introduce to them who Martin Luther King Jr. was and what he did that changed everything. Going from there it would be good to give them a paper and have them write down a couple of facts about him. Then once that is done, I think drawing him and making a book out of the facts they found of him would really help the kids to understand how important he was and what he did for many people.
