Background

As part of the ongoing McCrone work I was doing I got the children to choose their favourite song for music & in drama the Primary 1 to 4 worked with the a couple of Robert Munsch stories and Primary 5 to 6 worked with the Agnes Owen story, ‘Being Sent For.’

How ICT supported learning and teaching

The Flip camcorders were used by the children to record their choice of favourite children’s performance of a song linked to the music work and for drama either a freeze frame or a role-play. These were then uploaded onto Glow where the children were able to view them.

Impact / conclusion

I found the whole thing went very successfully. I feel the children found using the Flip camcorders were not only a very useful thing but they found it highly fun and enjoyable. The children being able to view the videos on Glow gave them a great opportunity to view every classes work and pass comment on something they would other wise not see. It was a great way for the whole school to get an overall view of what was going on in music and drama.
