Rationale
|
| |
|
|
|
This activity was part of the eLearning specialist program, and designed to introduce the students to
Kahootz by setting a relatively simple but challenging and interesting task.
|
|
Student Tasks
|
| |
|
| |
|
In pairs, the students were required to write a simple story suitable for the younger students in the school (Prep and Year 1 students).
They then retold the story using Kahootz. A “Kahootz Planner” (developed at the school) was used to plan each scene in some detail.
The students then created their Xpressions, and presented them to their classmates and the younger students.
