The Students Have Got Me Working Overtime.

I was hoping to have all the student's screencasts up this afternoon.  However, I have been bamboozled.  
A weekend of 'Wondering & Discovering' for me.  
Watch this space and I will hopefully have them up tomorrow.

Another Exciting Learning Day



Wow! What an exciting and very busy day. 
Next week some of us will be ready to launch our first digital stories on this blog.

Mrs Tautari-Scott learnt: 

  • not to video with sunlight behind the students. 
  • to get all the students to 'turn their volume up'.
Have a great week everyone.

The Writing Has Begun

Today we started to write our digital story using Goggle Docs.  We had to follow our Mindmeister plan.  Mrs T also showed Jackson and Lily how to get their Mindmeister back when they were accidently deleted.

We clicked on file ... Then See revision history 

Some of us have finished our scripts and Mrs T made some comments to help us improve our writing.

Mrs T uses codes for us to follow:
BTD = Blue To Do
PTT = Pink To Think
GFG = Gold For Glory
These codes are just like Miss White and Mrs Gillespie use in our writing books. 

Lily's Story With Comments

If I click on the highlight in my story, the comment will be indented (move in) so I know what comment to read and follow.

After doing the 'nuts and bolts - script writing' we got started on the 'jazzy stuff - publishing our digital stories using Google Slides'. 

We had to:

  • write choose a title, 
  • write the author  
  • choose a background.  
  • Insert an image using the tools ... research option

WHAT A DAY!
