We are teaching a unit on Passover. Students will learn about the Seder Plate and Passover Songs.


  • Students will learn the parts of a Seder Plate by going to a website that will describe the Seder Plate.
  • In teams, they will be given a section of the Seder Plate. Then they will google an image, write a definition about it and print this information on posters.
  • The teams will then practice saying their definitions and will be video taped.
  • The videos will be uploaded into a "choose your own adventure" Seder Plate.
  • The students will make Pharoah hats and learn the song Pharoah, Pharoah.
  • Using video Star app on the iphone, they will be videoed singing and dancing to this song. It will be a music video.
  • The key technologies: Computers, Video camera, iphone 
  • Students will be be using digital storytelling that will be uploaded to You Tube
I think the hardest part is realizing how time consuming using technology can me.  It is also difficult when students is absent to keep them still involved when they missed the week before.  I do think the students are more engaged and just loving using technology.

    This sounds so ambitious to me. A really awesome plan but I am curious as to how it went. Did you really accomplish all of those different things?

    Because we only got to meet with our classes for a short amount of time on Sundays, we needed to google the images for the students. We put all of the information together on a new Wiki in order to present it in class today. We also used the App Morfo to introduce the Seder Plate and the Pharoah song.
