 **Waihi East School** have been using a variety of ICTS to support their learning and especially the development of the Key Competencies.

Students made and sold a **video about their camp experience**. All KCs were supported but especially Participating and Contributing, Thinking and Using Language, Symbols and Text s.  · They used iMovie to edit footage, add titles and soundtracks where needed. · Made own Garageband tracks for YouTube 2 minute version to let community know they’d made a DVD and [|embedded it on the East school website.] · Made a [|poster using ‘Comic Life’] to advertise Waitawheta Camp Movie DVD. · [|Designed DVD Case Cover] using Microsoft Publisher.

 Waihi East School has begun using **Google apps** to provide students with a range of ICT tools to enhance learning. Students now regularly use Google Docs. Students are communicating with email, docs and instant messaging. They have begun exploring the use of Google video chat to interact with others. (See Mish Mash TV video [|http://vimeo.com/22061711] from 3:58) At the moment communication is limited to chat within the school, but once students are confident with the technology this will be expanded.

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">At Waihi East Primary School a year 5/6 class is studying 'Matariki' with a view to performing a myth or legend relating to 'Matariki' in a school show near the end of term 2 2011. Our Arts drama focus is - Level 3 Achievement Objective:

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Developing Ideas: Initiate and develop ideas with others to create drama.

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Specific Learning Outcomes selected for Assessment: Students will perform a drama including their understandings of Matariki (whakapapa, the land, the stars) in the Production. We are linking key competencies with this 'Matariki' unit they are: 'Participating and Contributing' and 'Relating to Others'. <span style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">An ICT learning experience that links with these 'Key Competencies' is outlined below:

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">We listened/watched a movie of the 'Creation Myth' to familiarize ourselves with the story line and characters. Next we used Puppet Pals HD on the iPad to re-enact the myth or legend. Link with Key Competencies - 'Participating and Contributing' working together in a group to draw the characters in the myth and to rehearse each persons speaking parts. Key Competency - 'Relating to Others' students behaved appropriately during rehearsal having turns, encouraging each other to use good character voices. See the result of one of our Puppet Pals HD 'Creation Myth' below.
