I think this news story would be significant because today we rely so much on technology but we take it for granted. So it would be interesting to show students how life was/is without it.
The main question would be "can students survive without the use of technology?" To answer this question we could challenge students to go one day without the use of technology, that is, phones,laptops,elevators etc. We could ask them to blog about how their day went and/or post videos showing their day without the use of technology.
I think the use of text,photos and videos would would be the best multimedia tools to use for this story. Text: persons can blog about their day and persons can comment on the persons blog. Pictures can be shown depicting the various types of technology being used. Posting videos on the blog page showing how individuals survived the day or did not survive the day without technology would bring the blog to life.
So you will do some experiment on students without cellphones or laptops during weekends?
ReplyDeleteAnyway if you prepare this story with unique perspective, It will be just fascinating.
