Using new media to learn key vocabulary



This is a really good example of how new media can be used independently by students. A year 8 student was working on learning some high frequency words. He started by making a comic using Comic life and then exported it to Iphoto so that he could use his comic to make a film. Finally, he added signing and subtitles to his film. It meant he has made a resource that he can access at home and share with parents, it also means he has been working with the key words in lots of different and enjoyable ways without it becoming seriously dull.

The film is all the student's work and was completed in the course of two lessons. He really enjoyed making it.
