iCreate - How Technology Has Changed - Photography


Designing & Developing Digital Outcomes


Year 4 students have created an outstanding photo montage showcasing their understanding of photographic elements.  Investigation through practice showed how images are captured and how photographs have changed with technology and innovation. They showcased their hard work with an online exhibition and an actual exhibition for Grandparents Day. The girls even taught their grandparents how to take a selfie!
This unit of work is a strong example of student operating within the new Digital Technologies Curriculum, due to be mandated in 2020.



 

How History is Remembered and Shared

Learning to capture images from varying perspectives.  Taking part in a treasure hunt of photographic elements showing 'strong lines'



Year 5 and 6 are working together on a topic called “How History Is Remembered and Shared”.
The girls have visited Turanga Library to kick start their research.  We are hoping to revisit the Library once the girls have narrowed their research topic. Next steps, will be to share their learning comparing two views in time.  The girls will code a visual presentation with the use of Scratch, a block coding platform. Learning to code challenges students to think creatively, work collaboratively and reason systematically.



Part II

The girls have excelled all expectations with this integrated unit. They worked with Sam Bates, their performing arts teacher, Rachel Wilford their Music teacher, Linda Chong and Audrey Campbell, their Digital Technology teachers to present their learning through mime, singing and coding. What a fabulous celebration for our girls and their parents.
