Present day students using current technology to work collaboratively and/or independently on a film making project.  30+ year old relocatable classroom; 2 year old notebooks from a COW; even older refitted PCs; traditional tables; flexible, responsive, personalised, technology-integrated pedagogy.

Year 9 students creating  film trailers to “pitch” their chosen story (fiction or non-fiction, any genre) to their classmates.  2 teachers co-operating and collaborating in facilitating the learning.

The process:

1. Ideas and inspiration –  examples, brainstorming, discussion.  (student models, youtube)

1.  Design brief – planning through Q and A (google docs shared with teachers)

2. Story board – developing the vision (pen and paper or google doc)

3. Creation – Select technology of choice.  (imovie (Macs), wevideo (online),  moviemaker (PCs), Powerpoint, photo-editing tools, claymation…..)   Students exploring and experimenting, using youtube etc to learn how to… then choosing option they prefer.

4. Doing the work.
