Room+12+-+Umajin

Term 3 Week 5

Room 12 - Umajin

This week I have been working with Vera Gonzales on incorporating Umajin into her Literacy programme. The usual issue had risen of 'not enough time' to work with small groups in getting them started. Vera had already had a play with the Umajin programme and knew how to use it but was finding it hard to get the class running with it. For this reason, I took the maths and reading for her during the week and was on hand if problem arose. The class had been working on writing descriptions. Vera then worked with small groups of 4 children to blue screen their image onto the object that they had described. Following this, they recorded their descriptions into Umajin to make a slideshow. What fantastic results! Here are some of the cool images, but to listen to the descriptions you will have to go to shared resources/ICT/Umajin on our school intranet...sorry!
