Matariki - an overview of a unit of work.So, as you can see, it is a great tool, but as a teacher, I have to be very clear about what I want my students to achieve and communicate with this tool. In the kitchen chemistry PhotoStory I would expect that you would be explaining how the reaction occurs between two or more ingredients so I could evaluate your understanding. In my Anzac Biscuit PhotoStory, I would expect that the audience would be able to use the PhotoStory to make the biscuits without having the recipe in front of them.
Yes, it is great that they are using all the bells and whistles in the program, but they also need to be effectively getting a message across to the audience, even if that audience is their teacher. So my message here people is: Be specific about what you want to achieve when using PhotoStory 3. They had to take out the mad scientist and put into it how Anzac Biscuits are made, you know, all that stuff about how much of each ingredient, whether or not to sift or stir or whatever. Use the photos to make a PhotoStory 3 presentation to show the step by step process of making Anzac biscuits." Take photos of each stage of making Anzac biscuits. I pointed out that the task told them to: " Make Anzac biscuits. The first group finished had tried to do the whole mad scientist thing like last year. One group did forget, and had to improvise. I asked the to take turns to take photos of the process. I sent my students in groups of three off into the Multi-Purpose Room to cook Anzac Biscuits. This year, during our Anzac Day unit, I decided to try this again. It didn't require mad scientist voices either. This was a bit simpler for them to achieve. Some of them managed to do the actions for gridiron/American football rather than rugby, but hey, it happens. I asked them to take photos of each other doing those weird and wonderful actions that explain their decisions on the rugby field.

What I got back was a series of PhotoStories that sounded like a scientist had gone completely mad with the features in PhotoStory in overdrive, and no scientific learning being explained.ĭuring the Rugby World Cup I asked them again to use PhotoStory.
