Rationale
|
| |
|
|
|
The children were asked to show “their environment” as part of a collaborative project with UK and Australia.
They were to creatively show their environment to other children in other countries who have never seen Marina
View School or West Harbour, Auckland. They were to use the digital camera to take pictures and insert them into
Kahootz.
|
|
Student Tasks
|
| |
|
| |
|
Each group was to take some pictures of MVS and put them in a common folder for everyone to use.
 |
Process the photos and load into Kahootz. |
|
Use notepad to create text. |
|
Use swatching to create “MVS students”. |
|
Make a virtual tour with linking scenes and animated students. |
|
Make the tour a “believeable” experience. |
|
