Encountering E-Learning Education

I found a useful a news, information and resource blog for teachers in the UK called Primary Teacher UK. On this blogging page I found a useful entry entitled Me and My Movie. This CBBC program is a unique film-making initiative inspiring and enabling children to make movies and tell their own stories. The website provides fun, interactive film-making tutorials and a safe space where children can upload, share and rate each other’s films. Students can enjoy publishing and tagging one another’s movies on the web. I watched a movie called The Worst Present by 12 year old Catherine. It was a short video of two girls miming. The scene was based around two girls exchanging a present. I thought it was lovely that these two young students were provided with an opportunity to publish and perform their piece of mime to a world wide audience online. The free Me and My Movie film-maker’s pack for children is also available to download from the site in the How To section. This looks like a really interesting and interactive site which would be useful in the classroom. It is visually really appealing to children and easy to navigate.
