I had two of the most exciting lessons this week, teaching grade one & two to make mini movies and teaching the Preps to play with PhotoBooth. The teachers at Manningham Park Primary have been blessed with two mobile pods of Macbooks however the staff were a bit nervous about how they could use them in the lower classes so i joined them in class to model some examples.
We had a ball. The Grade 1/2 class read their poems into imovie and made mini movies. The Preps manipulated photos of themselves. They had just been doing a topic aboput space and astronauts and martians so they enjoyed taking headless photos and morphing themselves into strange creatures. Even I was amazed at how quickly they took control and became creative and experiemental. I took my ipod out to record the laughter and enjoyment, it was truly an engaging lesson. We printed off the pictures and the teacher will now use them for writing pieces.
