Imaginality includes a module called “Story Creator – Surface of the Moon”. It enables children to create their own stories by arranging 3D objects on screen, typing in a story, then capturing the result as an image. This video shows it being used with 5 year old children (with assistance). Comments from the teachers included “It is so fantastic to see young boys getting so engaged in literacy”.
New Imaginality Play module tested at Paparoa School
2We have been developing a new series of “Story Maker” modules for Imaginality Play, which enable children to arrange some characters and props on a background, take a photo and type in a story.
This week, we tested the first module in this series: “Story Maker – Surface of the Moon” at Paparoa Street School during their discovery time. We were flooded with excited 5 year olds, keen to make their own stories – we got quite a few stories done, but we’ll go again next week to give them another chance. This test gave us a few ideas of how to improve it too, so we’ll be keen to test the new version next week.
Thanks to Paparoa Street School for welcoming us in. We have a few photos from it below. Paparoa also blogged about it.
