In our rapidly changing world in which technology plays a significant part, the integration and application of learning technologies as tools for learning play a key role in the achievement of student outcomes. Rossmoyne Primary school strives to maintain a technology rich school integrating technology into all curriculum areas.
Mobile devices such as iPads and their associated apps can be used in an educational setting to enable creation and composition; facilitate social networking and provide rich tools to capture and edit video, audio and images. The portability, flexibility, and natural intuitive interfaces make tablets ideal devices for students to develop skills such as creativity, innovation, communication and collaboration.
The students in Pre Primary, Year 1, 2 & 3 have access to technology through our shared iPad program. Each classroom has 12 iPads which are shared between students, grouped for small group work or borrowed from a neighbouring class to provide 1:1 access, depending on the learning activity.
The students in Years 4, 5 & 6 have individual access to technology through our 1:1 iPad program. While not compulsory, the majority of parents provide their child with an iPad for use at school.
We use a Mobile Device Management program (JAMF formerly Zuludesk) to push out educational apps and ensure the devices are being used for educational purposes while at school. The school’s internet connection is filtered by the Department of Education so it is monitored and students are accessing appropriate content.
At Rossmoyne Primary School we teach students the knowledge and skills to effectively use digital technologies to communicate with others, participate in society and create and consume digital content.
Digital citizenship is about confident and positive engagement with digital technologies. By educating students about digital citizenship, they will have the opportunity to develop an understanding about the following concepts:
Young people today are immersed in digital technologies. They use the internet and mobile phones to socialise, study, exchange ideas and play. While online activity has many benefits, there are also risks.
We are committed to helping students develop appropriate behaviours when using digital technologies, both at school and home. Our program of internet safety initiatives includes:
Predator vs Prey: Stop Motion Videos
TASK OUTLINE: Year 6 students from Room 25 & 26 had to design and create a Stop Motion video clip to explain how an animal uses a defence mechanism to protect itself from predators.
Firstly, students selected an animal and wrote an explanation on how it defends itself from predators. They created a story board outlining how they wanted their stop motion video to look, considering media art elements such as camera angles, backdrops etc. Students designed and created a model of their animal in its environment, then shared and reflected on their work.
Here is a sample of their work.
