Making a video presentation about the needs in the Restitution Self Discipline theory

The whole 7th grade in Brekkuskoli worked in groups making a video presentation. We used the first week of school to learn more about the needs. The groups had to make a script of the video before they got the I-pads to work with.  Before we started to film we all got a course in the application Videostar from girls in the 7th grade. After the groups were done they delivered the videoclip to a group of students who then edited it to one videoclip. Then the students showed it to all the parents and we are also sending it to Canada to Diane Gossen the founder of the program Restitution Self Dicipline. 

Learning how to use Smartbord and Kahoot in Hjelmeland

In the visit to Hjelmeland we got to see how the school is using Smartbord in the classroom.

And we also got to try it ourselves. 

Here is Margret trying some english program with the 2nd grade.

We also learned about a new program called Kahoot.

Here we can se it used in mathematic in the 10th grade.

The visit to Hjelmeland

Using Facetime to communicate.

The students in Brekkuskoli used Facetime to be in the classroom with us in the 7th grade in Hjelmeland.

Afterwards the students could talk in small groups.

The Norwegian students showing the students in Iceland the good weather in Hjelmeland and then the students in Iceland had to show them all the snow in Akureyri. 

 

 

Using technology in the classroom in Brekkuskoli

Using live communication to communicate with other schools in Akureyri.

We also used Todaysmeet to write the things that were said if the other schools did not hear it in the broadcast or wanted to use it later that day.

Using Nearpod on the I-pads to learn about the independece of Iceland in the 8th grade.

At first the teacher made a Nearpod assignment then some of of the students also made some to teach other students about different kind of things regarding the history of Jon Sigurdsson.

Memories from Preikestolen (The Pulpit Rock)

Using thinglink to show some more of Norway and remember good days together this spring!

Finishing the first year

The last school month has started and soon we will all go on our summer holidays. Before we part, here is the last update about what has happened in Aizkraukle during April and May.

Latvian teachers did some learning too, not only students! Teacher Baiba taught them how to use Kahoot for game-based learning. She learned about this tool in Norway and has been using it since. Great tool, and students love it!

There was a school event in April where the students had to tell about their work and show the results of what they had done during this school year.

The main speakers for Nordplus group were Evelina, Adriana and Anna (sitting at the computer). The students showed the website and presented all the videos they had made.
















Finally, there is a new collage of our lovely group. This is how they look now. Have you already learned their names? You will meet some of them in autumn in Iceland!
