Facilitation and LCS - Google slides animation

I have been working this term with a teacher who is in his first year in a year 5-6 hub. His students are in their second or third year using chromebooks so I have been thinking about how best to support him. He has an advantage of being in a hub with two other teachers who have both had facilitation and are therefore intermediate users of Google.
My early lessons with his students revealed that as usual, there were a range of abilities in the class. Some were very engaged and very productive; some were very engaged and not very productive; some were not very engaged and no very productive. I discovered that some students presented as being a lot more capable than they were.
In my inquiry focusing on the use of Google apps, I started with Slides animation and asked students to create a 3-slide animated presentation of how to look after chromebooks. I decided not to give them any guidance on how to do the animation because I wanted to see what they could produce. The next week, I asked for a few volunteers to show their work to others. Some of the presenters showed slide presentations of many slides as they had used the multiple slides move-objects-a-little-each-time type of animation. We practised giving feedback of two types:
- what we liked
- suggestions for improvement
Then students were given another lesson to complete their animation and blog it. I had put some sentence starters for their blog posts on their class site. Here are some results:
Dorothy
Jensyn
Then, the activity was scaled up by asking students to use screencastify to record themselves presenting their animations. Here are some results:
Aween
Emma
These posts show that there are a range of different capabilities in the class. Some students were able to complete both parts of the task well and others couldn't even complete the first part expertly. This means that there is plenty of scope for me to work with these students over the course of the year. I am thinking about using Google sheets to make graphs which can then to added to a slide presentation.
