On Thursday 2^nd June, the Virtual Academy students, Ewan and Cooper, engaged in the Digital Tools Workshop. Throughout the day, the boys selected the workshop they would like to participate in, before watching videos and following specific instructions to learn how to use the technology. Following this, Ewan and Cooper applied their learnings to complete a “digital creation” activity. Ewan learnt how to use Video Editing technology and created a video about sharks, with special effects embedded throughout it. Cooper learnt how to use Photoshop and re-created a movie poster into a new and improved version. He also made a poster about phones taking over the world. The boys engaged in this day so positively and it was so pleasing to witness how committed they were to their learning. I look forward to seeing how the boys use their new skills in their work in the Virtual Academy and share their learnings with their classmates.
