Smarties Reading Group


Ngaio, Jake, Riley and Dara have been researching Polar Bears. They are presenting their inquiry on an ActicInspire flip chart. They have had to learn lots of new skills. The flip charts look amazing. They have presented their learning in a new and different way. The flip charts contain lots of interactivity, such as web sites, and videos. They have inserted photos to back up their writing, using the pen tool, text tool and the floating keyboard. They have used colour to enhance presentation. They had a few teaching sessions on the basics of presenting a flipchart and after that it was just-in-time learning and lots of experimentation and problem-solving. Thesy are going to be teachers to another reading group. They will share them with other classes and their parents soon.
