Room 3 Inquiry Term 3 2009

We are currently creating Comic Life presentations as required for the ICT focus this term.As our inquiry does not lend itself to physical evidence as such, there has been far more discussion than actual finding information. The class understands values but applying these to situations has been easy when lead by me, but with the younger class members I have had to prompt the thinking more. Once we put thinking or talking bubbles against our comic pictures I may find they can show their true depth of knowledge.
This was true and the children really enjoyed using Comic life as it easy use gave them some new learning tools to try out and reinforced tools from other programs. It allowed them to create something bright and cheerful and as it was an easy program to use, it gave me a chance to get the children with digital camera knowledge to teach some others how to download photos and create files.
We spent alot of time in the exploring, asking and finding, and the presenting and understanding seemed to come together for this topic.
