Today we created animations from our school-wide athletics day using ScratchJr, as a way of showing which events we enjoyed the most!
We shared many of the examples to the Apple TV and peers really enjoyed seeing what others had created! One of my learners really wanted to share his great animations with his Dad - can you please put it on the blog Mrs Belt? Great that they use our class blog and understand they can use this to show their whanau what we've been doing in class! But .... there is currently no function for sharing to either our blog or as a video file to the learners Google Accounts (although the ScratchJr website says this feature is "coming" - we can't wait!) How to explain that one to a five year old that was so proud of what he'd created and really wanted to share?
I wondered if I could find a way? Thinking outside the square tonight, I was delighted to make this post on our class blog! I used a screen casting program to airplay the screen of the learners iPad to my MacBook and then used Quicktime to take a screen recording of the animation - yes, its not ideal and a little more time consuming than just pushing an embed button, but its enabled me to capture this learners animation and share it on our blog as well as share an example of the animations that are being created by my learners!
