"You talk as if a god had made the Machine.. Men made it, do not forget that. Great men, but men. The Machine is much, but it is not everything. I see something like you in this plate, but I do not see you. I hear something like you through this telephone, but I do not hear you. That is why I want you to come. Pay me a visit, so that we can meet face to face, and talk about the hopes that are in my mind."The machine stops - 1909 - Forster

INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY: a doodle video

This is a doodle video made by my middle school students ( third year ).
First we chose the song and then we asked for the art teacher's collaboration. Each students got a song line  and had to draw something representing the words.
Next step was to take photos of the images ( we used the ipad ) and then pictures and music were put together in a video.
The same technique could also be used to visualize poems.
Here you can find a detailed explanation of the whole process.
