Leave a comment

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!
Talktime

Talk-Time Chapelhall Primary School

Leave a comment

Background

The pupils of Chapelhall Primary School held a Scottish Art Exhibition. Every class studied a Scottish artist and using inspiration from that artist’s work, each child then created their own pictures.  Along with the artwork each class also produced a poster with background information about their artist.  All work was displayed and parents and friends were invited to come along and buy the children’s work.

How ICT supported learning and teaching

Each class received 2 -3 talk boards. They were displayed along with the children’s artwork.  The talk boards were used in different ways. Some children recorded information about the Scottish artist they were studying. Others recorded how they felt when creating the artwork.  Some children recorded how they felt about the artists work. Some children recorded how they created their artwork. Parents and children were able to listen to them while they were going around the Art Exhibition.

Impact / conclusion

The children enjoyed creating the recorded message. Adults and children listened to them. A few people commented that they were good, but some were difficult to hear. Children liked them if they couldn’t read the other information on the posters.

Background

Whole school holding a Spring Fayre as an enterprise event. Each class displayed spring art work in hall where fayre was being set up. The white recordable boards allowed each class to record a small explanation of their work, which visitors could listen to.

How ICT supported learning and teaching

Pupils had to consider the focus of their learning and record this in a concise format. They had to speak clearly and with enough volume to allow others to hear and understand when playing it back.

Impact / conclusion

These boards were a good way to allow others to find out more about the learning that had taken place in order to achieve the final result. Having to record the aspects of learning helped to consolidate this. All visitors to the school found them useful and other pupils often listen to the boards to hear about other classes work.
