Kindergarten's Published ICT Projects
Stage One's Published ICT Projects
Stage Two's Published ICT Projects
3M students, after reading a text about hot air balloons, collaborated with a partner to create postcards about their 'flight' over Helensburgh and surrounding areas. They used the 'Steve Parish Postcards' iPad app to insert their own illustrations together with a recount of their adventure. This work was shared via Youblisher (see below).
Stage Three's Published ICT Projects
APPS
*ABC Spy HD - we've done letter hunts with this app - allows you to take photos for each letter and put together into a movie.
*Artmaker - we have had lots of fun storytelling with this app.
*Skitch - we use this for labelling colouring pictures.
*Yakit kids - we wrote sentences for Grug to say then recorded him speaking (mouth moves).
Thanks Jen for sharing.
One very important app!!!
This is the must have app that I use all the time now and makes transferring students' work between computer and iPads a dream. Check out Simple Transfer and the free version does the job!

Global Words
At the centre of both global citizenship education and the study of English is the aim of supporting students to become ethical, thoughtful and informed citizens, predisposed to take action for change. These units, and the supporting resources of Global Words, aim to build the essential knowledge, skills and values young people need to participate actively, critically and creatively as global citizens.
