Knox+Fest

From ipod to MovieMaker
 * KnoxFest**

Katrina Gledhill and Christine Gray
This project involved all Year 5 classes in collaboration with our Writer in Residence, John Larkin, and the ICT Integrator Chris Gray, in the development of script writing to produce small movies using iPods. The boys were taught the skills of video editing using Windows Live MovieMaker to create their masterpieces which were previewed by parents in our inaugural KNOXFEST movie night.

This integrated activity engaged our boys in English - Writing,Talking and Listening, risk taking and maths in a collaborative learning environment where every boy's work was valued and presented in a professional manner for the school community to view.

I am the Year 5 Team Leader at Knox...I teach Year 5 right now but have taught all year levels in the past. Using ICT to motivate students and provide greater scope for learnign and innovation is a passion of mine. Still learning how to do that!!
