Abstract

Abstract: Pre-service teachers were provided the opportunity to learn, plan, and facilitate a one-on-one learning extravaganza with elementary and middle school populations of at-risk learners in order to inquire, construct, and create their own story using iMovie technology. This powerful field experience allowed all populations involved to be actively engaged in a collaborative process. The students constructed their own story using content from pre-service teachers' certification areas and the diverse learner's imagination. This multidisciplinary lesson incorporated perceptions from the eyes, ears, and reflections of researchers, teachers, learners, and parents, using the university environment as a catalyst to challenge the minds of our future leaders. Reflections were aggregated from digital interviews and exit surveys of all participants. Researchers' multiple perspectives added validity to the outcome. This project captured the "big picture" of how to enhance imagery to learn content-based curriculum using technology in the classroom.
