Year 9 IST Class -Animation experience with year 4

In term 1 Year 9 IST learned about animation and from then on our assessment was to create a suitable animation for Year 4 student that will hopefully teach them more about internet safety and how to make the right decisions when online.

Today Year 9 IST went up to Junior School and displayed and explained their animations on, how to be safe on the internet and make wise decisions because there are always consequences for your actions. As we were presenting the animations Year 4 loved every bit of it and engaged with the animation. When each group had presented their animation the students were quizzed on what had happened during the animation and all the answers were correct.

This shows that as Year 9 students we can also equip and empower people who are younger than us for a good cause because now they know how to be safe on the internet and what right and wrong.  When they are faced with a situation they can remember what they have been taught and use that as an advantage.

The year 9 IST group had received an assessment task that required them to create an animation that would teach the Year 4 children how to be Internet SMART. Year 9 had the course of term 1 and the holidays to complete this task and when this task was completed in term 2 week 1. The Year 9 IST group went to junior school and then presented each of the individual animations. The Year 4 students were great listeners and soaked up all of the information in the animation
