Making Sandwiches You Can't Eat!

Our Buddy Class, Room 5, is learning about healthy eating for their Inquiry topic.  They have been doing some writing about how to make a healthy sandwich.

We decided that for our Buddy Class visit last week, we would help them publish their writing by animating a sandwich.  We used Keynote to do this for a couple of reasons - we wanted to learn how to use the build function to make our future slideshows more interesting, and Keynote also lets you record a voiceover for the slideshow (something Google Presentation won't!)  Keynote also has the Instant Alpha tool that lets you remove the background from images.  That was especially useful for this task.

Check out one of our animations of "How to make a Healthy Sandwich".



We still have to play with getting the timings right but it's not bad for a first attempt is it?  We are planning on using our new skills to share some of our own learning soon.  Keep an eye out!

Very very tech savvy Room 20. I'm looking forward to getting back so you can teach me a thing or two. I love that you're also sharing all your skills with your buddy class.
