Going Green with Our Littlest Learners


Even our littlest learners visit our Exploration Station and it was fantastic to welcome our year 1 and 2 students to the station over the last few weeks.  They were very excited to be in a new space and have a go at using a few different apps on their class iPads. 

Our focus in the station this term has been SHINE Online particularly staying Safe and Strong online. While in the station we listened to a few stories and watched a Hector's World video that helped us to think about how we can stay safe and strong online.  We reinforced our knowledge about asking a trusted adult before we go online and keeping our personal information safe.   The students in year 2 particularly liked the 'our online neighbourhood' video we looked at by Common Sense Media.  We have a link to it on our Level 1 Safe and Strong page in our SHINE online website.

The learners decorated their own characters to talked about how to stay safe and strong online and then used them to make a Green Screen movie to teach others about staying Safe and Strong online.  Mrs Lee helped our year 1 learners to put this into the Doink Green Screen app and our year 2 learners had a go at doing this themselves.   

Here are a few photos of us working through the video and green screen process




To help us work through the process we used this slide deck: 




This was the first time we've used a green screen and the Doink app we're still learning how it works and all about what makes a great video.  Here are some of the videos we created...
