Week 2 - Extention Year 3/4

Today we talked about what we would be doing in ICT this term for the extention group.

Year 3 will be exploring the use of I Can Animate to make animations about a particular animal that they choose. Today they explored the animation software and how to get things moving. They learn't the importance of the duplicating key. If they don't duplicate there animation won't work.

Here is an example of a child exploring on I Can Animate.



Year 4 will be exploring photography. They will learn to take a variety of shots and upload them to I Photo. Later on in the term they will explore uploading them to Animoto and then onto their class blogs.

Today we explored the camera and looked at the zoom button and focus button. We looked at a variety of close up and extreme close up shots on the internet and then took a few of our own. We discovered that we need to be creative when taking the pictures.
