Well done to the team at Parsons Ave Kindergarten who are exploring how digital media might support transition to school. Here's a copy of the clip made by Tyler- Jay, with the support of Ann, Anne, the staff of Levin East school, and his mum about going to school - we all went on a school visit together and Tyler showed us around and explains his ideas about school visiting processes and what happens at 'his' school. Some of his topics of photograph were interesting and we enjoyed spending time looking at the images and sharing them with his friends. His voice over was great - the first time he'd tried something like this. The idea for this clip is to have it available on the children's computer for easy access when children choose to investigate. Tyler- Jay's mother reports all visitors to his house get to watch his DVD! He was certainly keen on sharing it with our Kindergarten friends and explaining some more! We also have several copies of it on DVD so we can share this with other families of children going to this school. Next steps- lets see if children who weren't part of the making of the DVD find this information useful.....and lets make one for other feeder schools!
Hi teachers from Parsons Ave Kindergarten. This is something I really like. I think it might communicate to everyone involved in the system of making children and their parents comfortable in the move to a new educational place that their understanding of the huge thing it is .... that's important.
