How can I use digital videos to improve student writing?

Meet Maria, a year 5/6 teacher looking to improve writing skills (process and product) through digital story telling and documentaries

Watch the video.


Documentary making as a context for developing writing

Renee Strawbridge (Mount Biggs School) uses digital documentaries to improve writing for her Year 6-8yr olds

Making connections

Use e-Learning tools to support or enhance learning outcomes in authentic contexts.
For example,

Students:

  • plan their writing using the best tool e.g. Coggle – mindmap, story map
  • write (digitally or by hand) using structure and topic or subject specific language features
  • revise and rework their writing for clarity, impact, and purpose
  • present their work selecting the media - digital and visual media.
(Ideas derived from Curriculum Progress Tool - Writing)


Digital technologies support future focused teaching and learning by offering new ways for students to:

  • represent their thinking
  • clarify ideas
  • make connections
  • identify patterns
  • reflect on their thinking across the curriculum.

They provide students with greater capacity to:

  • save and build on previous work
  • use scaffolds and templates designed for particular learning outcomes
  • work collaboratively or individually in creative and innovative ways.

Students' story: Developing writing skills in the context of making a documentary

  • Gather data to identify a target student/s
  • Negotiate and clarify learning goals and/or progress rubric with students
  • Workshop processes (tools) and potential outcomes (examples)
  • Distribute resources (individual or group)
  • Assign roles, grow expertise
  • Allow time to explore, create, communicate
  • Encourage learning through play, failing fast, collaboration, flipped learning, cultural identity, links to other learning
  • Monitor progress
  • Share outcomes to wider audience (online and off)

The digital curriculum is about teaching children how to design their own digital solutions and become creators of, not just users of, digital technologies, to prepare them for the modern workforce.
