Lesson 5 – How To Film

 

Using Adobe Spark to make a simple book review

 

“Every lesson in Why I Play was planned meticulously and backed up with videos that had the children in stitches! The project stretched me as a teacher and allowed me to bring in my own interests for use of EdTech and filming within the curriculum.”
