Hi,
We are group of kids,teachers and others who live,work,play and learn together in Sydney’s inner south west.
We are always talking about texts at school. When we compose texts we need to consider both audience and purpose. We’ve been learning a lot about publishing through making our own webpages on our school intranet. (thanks to you Stu !)
The podcast project is an attempt to give our work an even bigger audience and to have some fun at the same time.
Stage 2 abd 3 at our school are exploring the meaning of being Australian and will be using the podcast as away of sharing our ideas with the WORLD ! And maybe even getting some feedback………..are you tuned in ?
Today’s test run includes a video which uses images and music to complement the wonderful Dorothea McKellar poem ”My Country”. The video was produced using Photostory 3 for Windows. This program is easy and intuitive and best of all can be downloaded for free. Why not have aplay with it yourself?
Dorothea McKellar is the person in the picture. You can find out more about her by following the following links
