In our school, we have Oysterponds TV! The website is oysterponds.tv. It is where we post videos of the projects and events happening in our school throughout the school year.

We start making videos for Oysterponds TV in third grade. For example, we make videos about animals, people in history, states, countries and surveys. Sometimes we make videos just for fun, like challenges, more surveys, and book reviews and trailers.

Oysterponds TV is good because you learn how to plan ahead, work with others and be responsible by getting a video finished and on time. You also learn how to work independently, without a teacher helping you.

When we make the videos, we use many apps on our iPads to make them more interesting and fun to watch. We use Superimpose. It is an app that allows you to put two or more pictures together. We also use Animation, to help make your drawings come to life. Finally, we use Green Screen App, which lets you record yourself and put a picture of anywhere you want, and it looks like you’re really there. All of the creations we make are put together in iMovie.

I love making these videos, and it makes doing work and research fun.
