Learning to Create Animations

With Mrs Raj, I learnt how to create animations. It was a lot of fun.

The steps I used for creating an animation were:

  • Use Google slides to create my animation
  • Change background colour or background image for my animation
  • Introduce drawing or clip art images for my story on the slide
  • Duplicate the last slide in the deck using Cntrl + D
  • Move the images a little bit
  • Duplicate the last slide again and move the images a little more
  • Carry on moving the images according to the story
  • Finish the animation and upload it to my blog

I enjoyed doing this activity.

 

Scavenger Hunt to explore using Google Docs

By using this activity sheet my learners learnt how to use Google docs more effectively by taking ownership of their own learning.

My learners learnt to:

  • Voice type
  • Add the date and use the header
  • Insert Special characters
  • Create a hyperlink
  • Use smart chips
  • Change page layout
  • It was so much fun and a great activity, using tools on Google docs!

Using Google Documents Effectively

My learners were involved in doing the Scavenger Hunt Activity. There were so many skills that they learned.

They learned to search for information and images, type text and move it in front of an image, use the page set up to turn the page to landscape and add page colour. They enjoyed adding special characters and smart chips in the document. The learners also learned how to add a header, a footer and a logo on to their Google document.

Voice typing was so much fun for the learners. Finding word count and using a lot of tools in a Google document was very useful for the Year 3 and Year 4 learners in my class.

 

Fiji

To celebrate Fiji Language Week, we learnt all about Fiji, then created a short presentation on Google Slides.

The learners learnt how to share their work by publishing it to the web, clicking on embed, making it a small presentation, timing the slide show and then publishing it. They then copied the embed code.

The learners then learnt how to embed the slide show on their blogs by going to add media, insert embed code and finally inserting it into the post.
