It has also been rewarding and satisfying for Joy and myself to be able to support Year 8's in developing their literacy and digital skills this term. In their “Paired Reading”
project, students have learnt how to customise and maintain a blog, use the web
tool Voki, use copyright friendly resources only, create their own movie and
embed all multimedia into their blog. Students have enjoyed the variety of
tasks in this project. With reading being an essential life skill, this project
was a great way to foster a love of reading and allow students to present their
responses in a challenging and creative way.
In Week Six, all Year 8's had the opportunity to
showcase their blogs. It was also a requirement to peer and self -assess
and students managed to do this in a respectful, constructive and beneficial way. It was great to be able to read that they not only learnt a lot of new skills but found the project engaging and challenging.
