Year 7 Geography

ISC staff have collaborated with Year 7 Geography teachers this year to ensure that all Year 7's are familiar with using Inspiration and Moviemaker.In Geography this year their investigation of an Asian country required them to upload a movie,a mindmap and a PMI chart to their Geography VLA Discussion Board. This allowed them to then view and assess each others ' work.It was an inquiry project that involved many skills and steep learning curves for both students and their teachers.It was great to see students helping one another out and the excitement and satisfaction gained when students finally uploaded their tasks in the correct format.
Hopefully this cohort will now be encouraged to use Moviemaker as a presentation tool as like most programs lots of practice is needed before you become an expert.A tutorial on how to use Moviemaker can be found in the document section in the ISC VLA as well as below
Also below is a copy of the Year 7 Asia Assignment and a student movie.
