After watching from the Department of Educational Technology Connections (ETEC) “Bookends of War” video children seemed to be very engaged by using technology in their classes. The teacher stated that students loved to visually see their work on the International student web design contest website and that several core standards (language arts, technology integration, oral communication, social studies, fine arts) were met through this project. Students were placed in groups to be responsible for a specific area of the website. One student affirmed, “I think that other kids when they see our website will… they’ll see it an probably think it looks pretty cool, ‘cause so far the whole website is looking really good.” Thus, students were proud of their quality work.

“Inside Kapunahala” focused on using storyboarding to television production to see how learning is enhanced through a continuum of media and student involvement. The younger grades merely presented information in front of camcorder. As the grades progressed, older students participated in the filming and editing process. These students really enjoyed watching their presentations of their learning.
