Digital Development Green Screen

I had another go at creating a Pepeha on Green Screen. My previous attempt was not great. So what did I do different this time? 

1. I introduced Green Screen on its own. Students had to add a photo of their favourite animal and say something about it. So just speaking on the Green Screen. 

2. Secondly, we did not waste time writing our Pepeha's in our books. I printed the ones that used the Papakura Pepeha and wrote the ones that had their own Pepeha in large writing using a different colour for each line. Which helped to prompt them to stop and watch if the next background photo is on the screen. We practice reading our Pepeha a few times with a buddy, creating a doughnut and sharing with a different person each time. 

3. Thirdly, we typed up our Pepeha on Seesaw, adding photos/drawing to demonstrate the meaning e.g. Maunga (mountain). Then students recorded themselves reading their Pepeha. They only had a photo of their faces on, so the pressure was a little less as they could still read from their book. 

e.g. Laweneta's Pepeha on Seesaw

Paul's Pepeha on Seesaw

4. Lastly, we started working on our Green Screens. First, we downloaded the photos that are linked to our Pepeha. We set the photos to show for only 5 seconds. We then had somebody hold the books up so that we could still refer back to them while creating the Green Screen. 

The Results: 

 

So this session went a lot better than the first time. It still took a lot of individual support when doing the Green Screens. So what can I do differently? 

- I am going to create a visual board with the steps of what needs to be done to create the Green Screen. 

- I will ask Te Roopu Kaiako to allow my group to take turns and recite their Pepeha's in front of their Te Roopu after we said the Karakia. 

- Set up the portable Green Screen so that students can record without moving out of the class.
