“We’re currently wasting a lot of time by giving unreal writing tasks in our classrooms….You and I don’t engage in meaningless writing exercises in real life—we’re far too busy doing the real thing”. Lets make meaning from our personal reflective writing through blogs.

Words on the street
This resource contains a video gallery from one of several 'Challenge' activities found on ACMI's 15 second place website. The Words on the street challenge gives participants the instruction to 'find words around you'. From this web page, users can either view existing Words on the street clips, or upload their own video. Users can select videos and display their location on a map, or play them in a playlist. The navigation pane on the left-hand side of the page has links to the Challenges, Themes, User playlists and What's the mood sections of the site, as well as a Surprise me link, which selects a video at random. |
story monster
is a fun online literacy game that uses the moving image to promote student learning.
In the game, you'll design a hungry monster who loves to gobble up words. But your monster will need help with what to eat - he can only be fed well-structured sentences.
When a complete sentence has been eaten, your monster will act it out for you. At the end of the game, you can add your monster to a gallery for others to admire.
This educational resource combines gameplay and storytelling to develop foundational knowledge and skills related to reading, writing and screen literacy. It targets a range of learning levels and has been designed to be played both in class and at home.
