St John Vianney Primary Greenacre - School Radio Station 2SJVLoading

How exciting to be able to hear students broadcast themselves on air and share their journey in getting this project off the ground.

Using a variety of web tools to assist in collaborating online and creatively presenting ideas.

They visited their local radio station to research how a station works. Students looked at their own learning styles and personalities to decide on which roles they took on.

Reporting on school community news, parish updates and local community information. Coordinating many segments is not so easy. Evaluating each podcasts helped to inform the next ones to ensure they refined their work.

Students mentored and helped each other to complete their final assessment task which was an individual podcast.

St Luke's Primary Revesby

Students developed a school website so teachers and other students can learn about coding.

The code-breaking boys have been using different tools to program using coding.  Gamefroot, Tynker and Scratch are some of the tools used.  They learnt skills such as coding, problem solving and mathematics.

I like that these boys are making short online tutorials to teach others how to use these tools. 

Considering the audience for the website helps when planning to ensure you use the right language and designs to me the needs of the readers.

Visit code.org to learn more about code and participate in the hour of code challenges.

Year 5 St Felix Bankstown - ICT Club and Blogging

What a great way to showcase your school by putting together an informative short video clip of all the learning that occurs.

Year 5 using blogging to communicate with their teacher and each other, bring learning to life.

Writing a quality blog comment is a very important.  Some of these students eve contribute to the St Felix school bog as part if the ICT group to share ideas with parents.

The Quality Comment Award is a great way to encourage students to continue to strive for success.

Good Shepherd Primary Hoxton Park and Good Samaritan Hinchinbrook

A true K-12 project.  App Development by Year 8 students for Year 4 students to meet the requirements of the NSW curriculum.

This follows on from last years group who created Aps for the iTunes store.

Video conferencing and Google Apps was used to collaborate, meet the target audience, trial, test and evaluate along the way.

Live Small offers educational mini games for students in year 4.  Mini games cover practice of skills in Mathematics, English and Science.

I love that is takes many people to make such a great product including technical support, coding, graphic design and music design.

The students used another online app to critique and review this App as well as write reviews based in the structure of a book review to share their thoughts on the final product.

Can't wait to download this from the App store!

GSHP MINECRAFT CHALLENGE

,We decided to do the Sydney harbour because in class we are learning about structures. The height of the Sydney Harbour Bridge is 134 metres and the width of this bridge is 49 metres. They began to build this bridge in 28th July, 1923 and finished on the 19th March, 1932. It opened on the 19th March, 1932. The Sydney Harbour Bridge holds 8 road lanes, 2 rail tracks, 1 pedestrian way and 1 cycle way. The Sydney Harbour Bridge is an arch bridge with trusses.


This is our bridge half way through

These are some similar types of arch bridges such as the Tyne Bridge in England and the HellGate Bridge in New York.

These are the people in my group. 
Our finished product
