Day 2 of our ‘Danish ICT To Inspire Project’, today in Copenhagen (København), Denmark, at Educational IT, Artillerivej Copenhagen.
An all day workshop with teachers and students, and a ‘Show and Tell’ session for school leaders, ICT consultants and others. The idea of today, was to bring students, and teachers, from across the region together, and then giving them challenges and some digital tools they could use to tackle those challenges.
We took the story of The Pickpocket that has grown and grown over some time, and retold tales of the next stages of the couple’s dillema in modern settings. The students were so inventive. They headed out, with cameras, in to the local environment, and photographed interesting settings, artefacts, and characters. An unsuspecting police horse even featured in one story! It was raining at some stages and even that didn’t stop them. In fact, it seemed to add a layer of mystery, intrigue and darkened atmosphere to their art.
Again today we explored Tiltshift Maker to create miniaturize characters, or to highlight a significant region within a landscape or portrait, and Psykopaint to explore turning photographs into paintings. This really made us take note of some unseen elements in the pictures, bringing worlds of words from static images.
Then of course the brilliant Jamstudio, for generating some stunning soundtracks, Gadwin for screen capturing, and finally, PowerPoint to gather together and present their ideas. To present and perform, using new technology
