The IWB can be also a sort of work bench to create digital stories.
During the iTEC pre-pilot, last year, we decided to prepare a video to present our school to our Etwinning partners in Wales. We did not want to make a video - presentation as our partners did, so we thought of a story, acted by the class, which took place in our school, with children moving along the different places which had to be shown.
A detective - story was created and children, working in groups, wrote the dialogues, acted and took the pics.
This is the video we made using Movie Maker:
Not easy to record children speaking English: you can easily hear children having problems with English pronunciation, but it was a useful experience to practise writing and speaking and also shy children partecipated and wanted to speak. Cooperative learning worked a lot to have children working together supporting each other.
