Digital Reporters at Camp Cardboard/teaching approach

This activity is a cross curricula⁽ⁱ⁾ activity, involving a Collaborative⁽ⁱ⁾ approach, giving children to opportunity to work together on a blog. Childrens were encouraged to engage in group talk⁽ⁱ⁾ and discussion⁽ⁱ⁾ in the classroom to reflect on the activity they were to report on. The activity furthers e-skills⁽ⁱ⁾ and e-safety⁽ⁱ⁾ through the use of whole class⁽ⁱ⁾ participation. The specific art activity provided a great stimulus for the blogs. Equally, however, this approach could be applied to any event in or out of school. The use of blogging and social media gave the opportunity for children to share their ideas with a wider audience, and also gave opportunities for real-time feedback to their work.}
