As part of their coursework a class of year 11 students had to imagine that they were in a newsroom reporting on increased earthquake activity around Auckland. This seismic activity had finally culminated in the disastrous formation of a new volcanic cone within the Auckland City limits. While students were working on their project the Auckland City Council civil defense planning team were doing an exercise testing their ability to cope with the real thing.
The videos show learning in progress and by themselves are not an outcome .
In the first video a scientist is being interviewed about the causes of the disaster.
and seismic activity shook the newsroom around in the second
The final video in the series rocks!
The winner of the video award will be announced shortly.
Unfortunately the first video doesn’t work for me, BUT I must say nice use of imagery in the second video, but you gotta love the rockin’ enthusiasm in the third video. Great pun by the way: “Rock News”! Although the dancing interviewer tends to distract hahaha, ohwell! welldone!
P.S When I say the first video doesn’t work for me, I literally mean, my computer can’t play it for some reason, though I’m sure it’s a great video none the less
Thanks for the feedback Chadd. I wondered if that first video worked properly. I use edublogs because of its security features but the format can be clumsy at times. I don’t like the way the vids appear on then screen without a picture so I will transfer them to youtube where they should all work properly. Enjoy the holidays but don’t forget your chem homework.
What a great post! Just one suggestion:If you add some pics, it would be easiler to follow! I like the cartoon type logo! From what I have a playful spirit!
