Movie Making and Collaboration

The children are learning two skills in this digital and collaborative innovation.  They are learning to collaborate and work with children they don't usually work with, as groups are made at random.  They are also learning how to use iMovie so that in the future they can use it to demonstrate their learning.

This is a link to the children's first day of movie making in class.

This is the link to the children's second day of movie making where they used storyboards to create their movies.

Merging apps

I observed Laura read a big book to her Year 3 class after which she assigned each pair a portion of the book to retell.  The children typed their section onto iReadWrite ipad app which provides predictive text and reads back what they’ve written. (this app is discussed in previous post)

After the children had finished typing and it was checked by the teacher, they printed off their text to use for the next step.

Children used Tellagami on the ipads to create a character, add the setting and record their script into their scene.  Children saved their project as they finished.

Laura loaded each pair’s video onto her computer and merged them sequentially into a movie using iMovie.

This defines redefinition as children are able to write, create digital characters and settings, record voice, share, create a movie as a finished product to retell a story.
