Digital tools: Microsoft Powerpoint, Padlet, Book Creator, StoryboardThat, Google Sheets, Canva, and Camera App, Voice memo. 

Digital devices: iPad, PC, Podcasting Mic and Camera App. 

For the multimedia mashup, the website we used was Canva; a graphic design platform used to create e-Presentations, graphic designs, and many more projects including e-Publishing. In this instance,  we are using Canva to make share the multimedia mashup -  Black History Heritage. Unfortunately some of the apps did not show up well, so we had to convert it to Microsoft Powerpoint. 

First, we implemented our Vocabulary Storyboard. The vocabulary storyboard was created by taking ten important words from the Martin Luther King Jr. speech and defining them. Once I had the definition I made an illustration of them using StoryboardThat and implemented the words and their definitions. 

After that, we added our second set of vocabulary words. I used words associated with Black History Heritage such as gentrification, redlining, and revitalization. I put these words and their definitions with pictures into Book creator. 

Then, we added a marked historical location associated with Black History Heritage. The historical location that was assigned to me  was the Pythias Temple. Each student in the class was assigned different locations, We used Padlet to mark and give a detailed description of the Pythias Temple and how it correlates with Black History Heritage.

The next project we created was identifying black figures in STEAM (Scientist, technologist, engineer, artist, mathematician) from Kentucky. In this project,  I identified the five people in black steam; Ruth A. Coleman, Katheryn Higgins, William M. Duffy, and Leoda E. Lynn Goodwin.  This was done on Book Creator. It included details on the birth, death, and specific accomplishments of these men and women. This was later moved to Canva for publishing. 

The next project that was implemented was the one identifying two abolitionists that fought for the black community from the state of Kentucky. I created the video on Canva and identified who an abolitionist is, and the two abolitionists; Cassius Marcellus Clay, and John Gregg Fee.

The next Black History Heritage project was to listen to the Louisville Storytellers that lived and grew up in West Louisville; a location related to Black History Heritage. We interviewed Ms. Moorman, a retired school counselor, and Ms. Marshall, a professional singer, playwright, and performer. I also shared my feedback, and the lessons I learned as a podcast. You can hear it on the link given above. 

The last Black History Heritage project analyzing the West Louisville zip code data. From each zip code we identified the crime rate, population, race & ethnicity, median house values, median income, education, and food stamps. This was a collaborative effort on Google Sheets.
