At todays session we only had 6 present in person but everyone else managed to join our session through the hang outs meet link. It was good practice for what is to come in the pursuing weeks.
We learnt how to split our screen so that we could view a shared document while still seeing who the main speaker was delivering the document/slide/video etc.
We then covered the importance of CREATE and how this is the hook to our kids learning. Creativity should be at the centre of our teaching practise to allow our students the opportunity to become problem solvers, communicators and collaborators.
Before covering CREATE today I had always seen Learn, Create , Share as the order ie, we teach in order for the students to learn, they then create something they have learnt and then share to buddy, through blog, to class etc. I had not personally thought of the hook of creating as the beginning element to hook our students into the learning.
Next we set up our own Youtube channel and customised the settings. We shown how to make a playlist that will only play what you have selected so that our students can't disappear down the rabbit hole of extra clips unrelated to the learning focus. As a cluster we should be mindful that when we embed videos we use google drive not youtube.
Google Drawing
In this session we practised drawing around an image and filling in the image with our chosen colours. We had the pleasure of viewing some work from students of Panmure Bridge school who had really developed this skill and then used it in animation movies that they had made.
Slides for animation
In this session we chose a background image (I chose Clarks beach) and then we added a ball. We had to duplicate slides in order to make the ball appear that it was rolling across the beach. Great Fun!!
Finally we ended the day with a choice of what to practise or make I chose to make a digital Pepeha. Here it is;
Looking forward to the next session.
