We saw many interesting new faces and had to look really carefully to recognize anyone.

PRESENTING - AAM's Interactive Yearbook

Yearbook students were keen to try some of the suggestions made by me to make the yearbook part of our 21 century culture.  They were pleased to see the ease at which they could create comic strips for some interesting reading.
They also asked teachers to link messages via QR code.  There was a good response from all involved.    
Adding to teacher messages we also included QR links to school event films, favorite class songs, craft ideas, favorite websites and our schools online art gallery. Well done girls! This is going to be a good read. Have your QR scanners ready everybody...

Sourcing Information and Ideas

Grade 3 students were spotted around the hallways of AAM.  They were on a mission to find inspiration and settings with which to create fairytale trailers. Some students were assigned to collect photographs on their devices and others made important notes.


We will follow this project and post examples of their completed work.
