So today I worked with the fantastic sustainability leaders at Findon Primary School. The 6 students from grade 5 & 6 have all demonstrated great leadership strengths. Today's session highlighted that, without any huge effort on my part, the team is focused on working collaborative to achieve their goals. The main goal at this stage is ensuring that the Rubbish Free Friday data is collected. This involves:
- Going to all classes during recess eating time and recording who came to school rubbish free.
- Bringing that data back to our lunchtime meeting to be collated
- Determining the two winners for this week (raffle)
- Writing the speech for the assembly presentation at 2.30pm.
I have been really impressed with this years leaders ability to get all this done in a collaborative, timely manner, so that we can spend our meeting time discussing our action projects for the term/year.
This weeks action was the creation of a Mix.
For those that don't know, Mix is an add-on for Microsoft Powerpoint, which can be downloaded and added to the ribbon (tool bar) in power point. When you click on the Mix button, you can add video, audio and other effects into your power point and you can also export your Mix as a video.
So this is a brilliant tool for engaging students in a technology rich lesson, extending the concept of a powerpoint into something they can add to a blog, Youtube or school website.
This mix, produced by the leaders is about a rubbish free lunch box - the students are going to use it to promote Rubbish Free Friday.
