Explaining Everything about Pet Rock Houses in Year 2

Sharing and reflecting by Screen Sharing to the Apple TV

Inserting a photo of House Plans to Explain Everything 

Reviewing house parts, materials and special moving toy ready for an explanation.

Recording explanations of the house design with laser pointers in Explain Everything.
The students in Mrs Summer's class learned to use Explain Everything app to explain their house designs for a pet rock. As part of this Design Technologies project the students developed a plan with diagrams of their house and included the key elements - 2 stories, a bed and a toy that moves for their pet rock. After learning how to take clear photos on the iPad the students inserted a picture of their design into Explain Everything app and even learned to crop the photo to make it better for the audience to see. They then added text to label their design pictures, chose a laser pointer and practiced what they will say about their house. Then all the students learned about recording explanations and reviewing them. All students in the class did very well to do their first ever explanations, editing the bits they didn't like and keeping the clear explanations. Next we will learn to draw our houses at different angles so that the shape or materials can be changed to make the house better. Well done Year 2's!
