In our class we integrate new technologies as tools for learning. This is one of the ways we use the digital camera to support learning to read and write in the Literacy programme. Every week we have a new alphabet letter focus and on Monday we brainstorm and generate a list of nouns,verbs and adjectives that start with the focus letter. Then we make a list with diagrams of things that would be possible to photogragh..eg How can we take a photo of Friday? How can we safely "stage" a photo of a fall? This requires lots of creative thinking and discussion.We have decided that we will not take pictures of pictures because according to the students that would be cheating. When we have our list we assign two "press photographers" who take the photos,often leaving the classroom on their photographic missions,then tick them off the list and download them to the computer. The students are learning to be organised, collaborative and independent. The next step is to drag and drop the images into a Comic Life document which they label from the brainstorm list. Then we publish them to our classroom windows and our blog. The students are so motivated that they are discussing and planning photos for the rest of the year and they are always looking and thinking about new possibilities. Reading our windows is a popular activity for the older students who have lunch on our verandah. ||

We are learning to identify letters of the alphabet

In Room 3 we use KidPix heaps. Our drawing just get better and better. We have some guidelines for our drawings. As part of our literacy rotations we use KidPix to draw and label things that start with our letter of the week. You can also see more examples on our blog.

|| We are learning about what foods keep our brain switched on
 * 

As part of our 'All Aboard' unit at the beginning of the year we explored what foods are brain foods. We took photos of ourselves against the bluescreen and and then took a photo of our lunchbook. We used Keynote and the alpha key to bluescreen ourselves in. Our teacher Mrs Pearce typed in the words.

 * 

In our classroom we make learning fun. We were learning to count to ten in Maori so we decided to create a bluescreen clip to teach others. The Year 6/7 teacher Mrs Davies came into our room to play the guitar for us to sing along.

 * We are learning to describe

Our letter of the week was B so we brought along our best bears to school. We took photos of them on our teddy bears picnic and then wrote descriptions about them. We then bluescreened ourselves onto the page. We recorded ourselves with the isight camera in imovie and added this to the page to.

As part of our literacy time we created our own pictures of background in KidPix - these were to go with our page about 'Dan the Flying Man'. We then took pictures against a bluescreen and used the alpha key in Keynote to insert ourselves onto our KidPix page. Our teacher Mrs Fritchley then helped us to add a motion path to our page. We added video recording of us reading our page.

We read the story "What the tide brought in" students then created their own ideas about what the tide brought them in. Students created their background in KidPix and then bluescreened themselves in using Keynote.

In Room 2 we are getting pretty good at taking photos and using comic life to create our letter of the week posters. We are looking for harder and more interesting words. In our classroom we have heaps of KidPix pictures, photos and Comic Life pages that help us with our letter and word identification. We are learning new things all of the time.

During our Term One unit "All Aboard we looked at what it meant to be a switched on learner and the best Whakarongo Kid we can be. We took photos of ourselves demonstrating the action and then our teacher typed in our goals and what we were doing to be all aboard. We made these in Comic Life.

<span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">In Room 4 we are learning to speak to an audience. We have been videoing ourselves during daily sharing and then self assessing ourselves to see if we have reached our success criteria. We will video ourselves later in the Term to see if we have improved. This is an example of an impromptu speech.

<span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive">We have been learning about Maori greetings. We decided we wanted to teach other people how to use the correct Maori Greeting for a certain number of people. First we planned our pages out, then we took photos showing each of the 3 Maori Greetings, we then downloaded our photos and put them into Comic Life. We each created a poster to teach others how to greet someone correctly. <span style="font-size: 190%; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; color: rgb(255, 0, 3)"> <span style="font-size: 190%; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; color: rgb(255, 0, 3)"> <span style="font-size: 190%; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; color: rgb(255, 0, 3)"> <span style="font-size: 190%; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; color: rgb(255, 0, 3)"> <span style="font-size: 190%; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; color: rgb(255, 0, 3)"> ||
