Using MOVIE MAKER TO SUPPORT SCIENCE Olivia Humphries
AIMS AND PURPOSES • Develop IT capability, knowledge and understanding • Develop skills in using hardware and software to manipulate information • Develop ability to apply their IT capability and ICT to support their use of language and communication • Explore attitudes towards ICT, its value and awareness of advantages and limitations. DCSF (2010a) ICT at Key Stages 1 and 2
HOW DOES ICT SUPPORT THE CURRICULUM? • Prepares pupils to participate in a rapidly changing world. • Rapid access to ideas and experiences. • Promotes initiative and independent learning allowing pupils to make informed judgements. • ICT motivates and stimulates children’s interest in learning (British Educational Communications and Technology Agencies, 2003). • ICT can successfully integrate speaking, listening, reading and writing (QCA, 1999) • ICT aids bilingual and EAL children (DCSF, 2008) • Supports ECM Agenda (Milki, undated) “ICT expands horizons by shrinking worlds” – David Brown, Chairman, Motorola Ltd “This modern world requires new skills. Understanding ICT and being able to apply it to the problems we face is one of the most important” – Lord Dennis Stevenson, Prime Minister’s Adviser on ICT and Education. “ICT will change the way we learn as well as the way we work” – Chris Yapp, ICL Fellow for Lifelong Learning

What is movie maker? • Teachers who already have images or video on their computer for a subject can create a high -quality movie in a matter of minutes. • Allows children to paste and add images found on the internet. • They can add animations, sound or music to the movie. • Movie Maker is a free, user-friendly, versatile tool. • Children can upload videos so they can viewed anytime. • It’s easy to use, thus keeping the focus on learning the content, not on the tool itself. • (Bird, B. 2006) • “It offers enough basic features to get the job done but stops short of the abundant options and effects found in other programs.” (pcmag.com ,2003)
