Maryborough Central State School

 

If your child is intestested in technology, Maryborough Central is the place to be.

Mr Kurt Bryant is our Key ICT Teacher. He has a background in professional audio and video production and has a passion for the valid integration of ICT into everyday class learning.

Each trimester, Mr Bryant plans engaging multimedia projects with the class teachers that reflect their students' knowledge of content and new ICT skills.

Here are some ICT projects currently running at Central.

5B Antarctica Documentaries - Students have combined still images, video clips and pre-recorded oral presentations with a non-linear video editing program to create documentaries on their selected Antarctic animal. These mini-documentaries have been produced on DVD and also rendered to QuickTime 6, for web streaming. Check out the gallery to view these documentaries.

Time Travellers - 6/7W and 7C have studied Ancient Egypt this trimester. To demonstrate their deep understandings, students have written individual narratives based on life in Ancient Egypt. These narratives have evolved into the screenplays for two short films. Students are currently making props and backgrounds for these two epics. Stay tuned for some preview clips in the gallery.

Data Graphing & Manipulation - In the role of 'Toy Design Engineers', 5/6R and 6A have used MS Excel to order and graph data about childrens' favourite moving toys. The data was sourced from surveys, which were created to investigate the attributes of a good moving toy. The 'Design Engineers' now need to demonstrate their findings by ideating a blueprint and clay model of a marketable moving toy.

Insect Reports - Students in 2K, 2/3S and 3/4KA have been working hard to create some PowerPoint Slideshows about insects. Students have created text boxes, inserted images, created new slides, experimented with WordArt and formatted their text and backgrounds.
