Film+Making

Re@ct is only available for Moonee Valley Schools in 2009. This year it has a Mathematics focus and is titled "Re@cting 2 Maths". At a recent Intel training course I developed a unit plan for film making set in this maths focus. It includes the relevant VELS outcomes at levels 4, 5 & 6 for this project.

REMEMBER - A good film is a simple idea done well! Film dates in schools - **July & August** - see below and enter your school name beside a date (you will need to log on to the wiki to edit the page) and ensure that your **students have done requested learning objects** Online sessions - editing for teachers and students - have some footage to edit - **August 31st and Sept 1st** Completed films due to Drift Media - **September 21st (Jill to do a collection from schools on Sept. 16th)** Screening - **November 4th at VU Convention Centre Auditorium, 460 Ballarat Rd, Sunshine 3020 commencing at 7pm**
 * CRITICAL DATES** - All teacher to attend online Elluminate session to give verbal update on project at school - this will include story ideas and where your student are up to with storyboards and scripts - **Jun 18th at 3.45pm** - link and login information to be circulated prior to the event

Prior to us coming out, we’d expect that the kids have done the following Learning Objects Digilearn and student access – if you go to the digilearn site [] (you’ll need to login) and search for the objects mentioned on the wiki you will be able to open them up and then obtain the student link – when at school this shouldn’t require any teacher login details > [] > (print out assesment for each participant) > > And **Make a Movie**- L341, L342 or L343 (depending on year level) > [] > >

PowerPoint Resource for seminar / workshop Sample Story-board


**Problem Pictures UK** [] [] [] [] [] //When you are teaching the appropriate topic, take a minute to tell your pupils an anecdote about one of the famous mathematicians who contributed to this particular field of mathematics. It is important for pupils to be aware of the 'human' side of these famous people. "Using biographies of mathematicians can successfully bring the human story into the mathematics class. What struggles have these people undergone to be able to study mathematics?..." (Voolich, 1993, p.16)// **Visual Mathematics Learning - some excellent ideas for creating movies to simulate mathematical concepts and processes ** [] http://cooltoolsforschools.wikispaces.com/Video+Tools [] [] [] Educator approved videos so everyone can learn in a safe and comfortable environment. The perfect resource for students who are working on their homework or just need a little extra help on any given subject. Teachers can use the animations and videos to capture their students’ attention and enrich classroom lessons.
