Last week we had the TVNZ film crew into school to do a documentary on how digitally technology is integrated into the NZ schools. It was a real honour that they selected our school through recommendations from other ADS schools in America. TAKP isn't just about putting iPad in children's hands, it's about teaching them how to use this tool to express their knowledge in creative ways. So to be given the opportunity to explore the Everyone Can Create: Photo multitouch book with a group of talented photographers down at the beach was amazing!! I loved using the book with the group, it was super easy - I did think at first that the books were designed for older students, but I was impressed at the way the children picked up the key ideas. We focused on the Chapter about Scenes in which we looked at using leading lines and the rule of thirds to draw attention to a focal point. We also played around with Panoramic pictures which was new learning for the group.

Trudi FausettLearning in my space is now all about what the children can create with the new knowledge they have learnt. It’s about using all the tools available to showcase their understanding to a much wider audience. I find it so inspiring that I can connect children’s learning with their own unique creativity in so many more ways. Archives
