Veescope Live With the computing curriculum looming it is important that the children are having a wide range of opportunities in school. Part of the new multimedia strand involves using Green Screen software with the children from KS1 upwards to manipulate live images. Tablets provide a fantastic opportunity to do this as you don't need to take the photos separately before adding the chroma key effect; this is easily achieved using a free APP called "Veescope Live," available on Itunes or Play store.
Freeze Frame with Green Screen During book week my Year 1/2 class had been learning about "Hansel and Gretel." We spent the week sequencing the story and role playing as different characters to enable the children to fully understand the story.
We then created freeze frames of the key parts of the story in small groups which the children loved dressing up for! What they didn't know was that they were going to act these parts out with the real background behind them!
The looks on the children’s faces when they looked at the screen and saw themselves standing outside the witch's gingerbread house was fantastic!

Hansel and Gretel Comic. After taking the photos of the children for all key parts of the story we transfered them to dropbox to enable all the children to access them. The children then imported their photos into an android APP called "Comic Strip It" which is a fantastic free APP to create great looking comics.
After a bit of input from me the children were soon able to sequence their images and then add speech bubbles and captions to their comics.
They really enjoyed making these comics and their eyes lit up when I said they could take them home!
For any help or lesson plans using these APP's please feel free to contact me!
