Hello friends!
Today it is great day for Teachppy and I. Do you
remember our post about the collaborative work project called Channel 4? In
that moment it was only a project, but we were working hard and… we were able
to finish the project! It is a pleasure for me to show it!
My first reflection is about the collaborative
work. I feel very fortunate to be part of this great team together Soraya, Lorena,
Jenny and Silvana. Frequently, people remember great characters, for example Michael
Jordan (I admire him) but we can´t forget that he has a great team around him:
Tony Kukoc, Scotie Pippen, Dennis Rodman and Ron Harper. Probably, we had not a
great star, but each of us are a star tip. We have formed a great team and we
have worked very well. I hope that our project will inspire you!
To record this project, we had the privilege to
go to the Ministry of Education and worked in the Future Classroom Lab. Before
recorded, Francisco Prendes Veiga inspired us with a conference about
eTwinning. Then, we started the recording with a chroma.
The recording was fun! All of us had prepared
our speech, but we had to record the scenes several times to get the best.
Then, at home, our editor had a hard work to create a singular the video with
the best of around twenty videos. This edition was formed in different steps:
Video: First, she has to cut the video because
some of them has gestures or sounds that we don’t want to appear. The app is QuickTime.
It is an easy app to use. Apart to create the video, you can add your voice,
record your screen and record yourself.
Edition: she has to select the best videos, put
together them, fit it and delete some mistakes. She used the video editor program
called iMovie. At the beginning, this is not an easy program, so we had to look
for some tutorials with instructions to include music, headlines and the
background photos.
Backgrounds: we had selected images from Pixabay,
when we created the draft. iMovie allows to add our pictures together our
videos.
Sounds: GarageBand has got sounds to incorporate
into iMovie, both apps are synchronized. Moreover, we looked for free sounds in
FreeSoundsEffects.
It was a great process and a hard work but… we
love the result! We created a video as a TV new, we called Channel 4. Through
this news program our kids have to work in different areas as Natural Science,
Literacy, Physical Education, Social Science and Arts and Crafts. It is a
pleasure for me to introduce you the video:
Our idea is to show the video to our students in the classroom. They will
watch it and we are sure that they will enjoy it a lot. Then, we will work
about the news: speaking about them, reinforcing the listening comprehension,
making groups and preparing the teams to develop the questions that the
journalist made up.
My experience in this project it was incredible. It was a hard work, we spent a lot of hours, we did well the teamwork although sometimes it was not easy, and all provide many different points of views. But all the effort invested is good if the result is productive to support the learning process and to help the students.
Don´t worry... teach happy!
