Background
Use of flip cameras across curriculum.
Drama: recording of class/group performance of ‘Macbeth’.
Health and Wellbeing: induction film for new P1 intake
ES: presenting knowledge of topic facts
How ICT supported learning and teaching
The recording of the performances enabled children to develop self- assessment and evaluation skills in Drama as it allowed them to observe their own input, use of voice and facial expressions.
The group of pupils recording induction film were able to develop their filming skills, use of IT equipment and evaluated their interview skills.
Some groups worked towards co-operatively presenting a short piece on their topic
An ICT development officer twice visited P6 class and, on both occasions, developed skills in using i-movie.
Impact / conclusion
The children were extremely enthusiastic about using the cameras and i-movie and are eager to develop skills.
The pupils were more confident in their use of technology and felt they had achieved success when they saw their end product.
They successfully contributed in group activities and were able to evaluate their own and others’ performances.
As a staff, we greatly appreciated ICT development officer’s teaching and support throughout as it developed our own skills and has enhanced our own teaching.
We look forward to repeating the process next session!
