MODULE 5

These are the steps I followed to do the final task of this course. I hope you enjoy it!

MODULE 5 ACTIVITIES

PLANNING:

I decided to plan the one week (three hours) digital story telling activity for my 3^rd of ESO students as follows:

DESIGN:

-          I showed them the video I created with Creaza with the task they had to do. The link to my Creaza is:

http://www.creaza.com/magdacanaves/jzluKhYOrQ/edit

-          In that video I asked them to create a collaborative story from the beginning of the story “A bath in the swimming pool”, from Mr. Bean. I just let them watch the first 55 seconds from either two of that links I prepared with two of the apps you taught us to clean or to see a better you tube version of a video:

Then, they had to continue the story writing one paragraph for every member of the group with their own ideas with the following apps: Creaza, Mysimpleshow, GoAnimate or Paddlet.

IMPLEMENTATION:

The thing is that at the school we have lots of problems with the computers, as they are quite old and old-fashioned and our WIFI is not working properly either, that’s why the results are not going to be as good as they should be.

The first problem they had was the impossibility of charging the pages such as Mysimpleshow, Goanimate or Creaza; when such a great quantity of their time had gone by, they could not charge the images and so on… But some of them saw the problems in advance and turned into Paddlet which was easier and obviously, with no images, which meant it was much easier to work with.

These are the two the links of the two paddlets they created:

Even the problems they had, if we have to talk about their enthusiasm, it was great, their way to write, great too, speaking in English all the time and a bit frustrated not to be able to work with the apps I’ve shown them examples of; as I had been showing them the previous tasks I did in the course about Romeo and Juliet with Go Animate or My simple show or Creaza.

They enjoyed doing the activity a lot and when the Kahoot time arrived they thrilled as they really love Kahoots.  

ASSESSMENT:

-          Finally, when they had finished writing the stories, I showed them their mates’ stories and through a Kahoot they had to mark as if it was a rubric, bearing in mind the stories originality, correctness, use of English, apps used, etc.

Again, we should remember than only 9 students could do the Kahoot because of the bad WIFI, although they share it and had a great time.

And this is the Kahoot link if you want to play it:
