We had our first session in the MakerSpace this week. We had to follow some instructions to make a Scissor Action Extender Monster.
After making their monsters the Biggies then made some short green screen movies using their monsters, you can see them at the end of this video:
Although the monsters seem simple and the videos were very short we learn or practises a lot of skills:
- Communication, listening to instructions, asking good questions.
- Practical Skills
- Problem Solving, almost everyone made mistakes!
- Digital Skills
- Taking stills and video
- Using the green screen
- Editing videos, adding green screen overlay & audio
- Recording audio
- Using WordPress to add our videos to our e-portfolios
- Literacy Skills, we wrote about our learning.
