Creative Balham Workshop
6 teachers from local schools participated in a hands-on creative workshop held at Oak Lodge school. The aim was to explore creative use of technology and start to develop ideas for creative classroom projects which I will help to facilitate over the coming months. Each school will be offered 10 hours of instruction time, an additional 4 hours of staff training and essential technology to ensure creative projects continue to flourish into the future.
Here are some photos and videos outlining the energetic session!

The participants were asked to think of their strongest personality trait and work in groups to photograph these using picture frames. The resulting photographs were projected for discussion from the iPads using an apple TV.
On the same day as this training, Oak Lodge had several chicks hatch from an incubator. Time Lapse animation was used to capture the hatching process. This footage was used as a stimulus for teams to create stop frame “Hatching Chick” animations.... with a difference!
iMotion for the iPad and iStopMotion for the Mac were used to capture these amazingly creative outcomes!

“Balham schools unite for a unique experience!”
The aim of this session was to demonstrate creative, collaborative working approaches using a variety of apple technologies. The activities highlight a focus towards essential developmental concepts: space, sound, movement, time and sequence.
This introductory session has been a very positive start to the Creative Balham project!
