Congratulations to our Digital Fluency students on a hugely successful year! For their final major project, they transitioned from learners to expert digital instructors, creating high-quality, practical help guides for the community.
They mastered the Canva Video Editor to produce catchy, informative short videos on essential device management tasks, including:
- Demonstrating how to properly log out of shared devices.
- The correct procedure for clearing session-specific photos and screenshots that need to be deleted after every use.
- Ensuring shared equipment is ready for the next user.
This wasn’t just basic editing; students employed advanced techniques such as layering video clips and strategically using sound to make their tutorials engaging and clear. By integrating iPad screen recording footage into their professional Canva designs, they have gained invaluable transferable skills in:
- Multimedia Production: Advanced video editing and sound design.
- Technical Communication: Clearly demonstrating complex steps.
- Digital Citizenship: Promoting responsible use of shared resources.
We are incredibly proud of the expertise and professionalism they have shown this term!
Exploring Poetic Technique and Close Reading
Students explored poetic structure and literary devices in depth this fortnight, with a special nod to Joseph’s imaginative and skilful writing under assessment conditions.
From Mophead to Metaphor
Year 8 annotated Mophead and Marsh’s ‘Unity’. Year 9 turned a film clip into static-image posters and studied hyperbole and assonance.
