We are a class of Prep students, sharing all that's happening in our classroom. This blog was started by the first group of Gems, a Year One class back in 2007. We, the 2012 Gems are proud to continue on the conversation. You can read, watch and listen as we share our learning journey - a journey where we 'learn to blog' and 'blog to learn'. Please visit regularly to see what's new and join in the conversation - we'd love for you to be part of our learning.

MAKING OUR PHOTOSTORIES - THE PROCESS

Two weeks ago we showed you the PROCEDURE we followed to draw up PLANS for our PHOTOSTORIES about classroom ROUTINES.
Since then, we have been DESIGNERS and CREATORS, using our
PLANS to PRODUCE our PHOTOSTORIES.
Here is the PROCEDURE for making a PHOTOSTORY.
1. ACT
out and
take a PHOTO
of each step in
your routine.



2. UPLOAD your photos into PHOTO
STORY.


3. ADD TEXT to each photo. You can change the type of font, its size and colour if you want to.


4. ANIMATE each photo if you want it to zoom in or out.
5. RECORD your voice
over for each photo.

6. Give your PHOTO
STORY a name and SAVE it.





7. PLAY your PHOTOSTORY!
YOU'RE FINISHED!




WATCH OUT FOR OUR PHOTOSTORIES.... COMING SOON!

PLANNING FOR OUR PHOTOSTORIES!

Sometimes when you start something new, it can be scary because you don't know what you need, where to be, what to do or how to do it!
But when you know the routines, then it's easy.
So this term, we have been learning how to 'DO' school... to learn the routines so we can be CONFIDENT and CAPABLE LEARNERS.
We have decided to make PHOTOSTORIES to explain our routines.
Before we can make our Photo
Stories, we have to know what we are doing.
WE HAVE TO HAVE A PLAN!
Here's the PROCEDURE we followed.

1. We listed all our routines.
2. We formed groups of 3 and chose a routine. Each group had a 'Team Leader'.



3. We discussed what the routine looked like. We listened to each other and shared ideas. We took turns and used words like: "That's a good idea" and "What do you think?"


4. We drew up a PLAN showing ALL the STEPS in the routine.




Now we know what photos to take for each PHOTOSTORY and what ORDER to put them in.



Mrs M said each group demonstrated GREAT TEAMWORK.
WE WERE ALL LEADERS AND COLLABORATORS!
