Agenda

Session overview and objectives. Creativity within the Curriculum for Wales. Why creative digital outcomes matter for learner expression and engagement.

Welcome and Introduction

Introduction to storyboarding as a learning strategy. Example curriculum uses (e.g. explaining a process, retelling a story, documenting learning). Demonstration: Planning and creating a simple storyboard and short video. Hands-on activity: Participants create a short storyboard and begin filming a simple video.

Storytelling Through Video with iMovie

How animation supports conceptual understanding and explanation. Demonstration: Using Magic Move, builds, and object animations. Curriculum examples (science processes, maths strategies, historical events). Hands-on activity: Participants create a short animated explanation of a concept.

Animating Ideas with Keynote

Break

Using audio as a creative learning outcome. Examples: podcasts, narrative storytelling, interviews, and soundscapes. Demonstration: Recording voice and narration, adding music loops and sound effects, editing and structuring an audio story. Hands-on activity: Participants create a short podcast segment or narrated audio story, experimenting with music and sound effects to enhance storytelling.

Audio Storytelling and Podcast Creation with GarageBand

Designing multimedia learning outputs. Demonstration: Creating a digital book layout, embedding images, drawings, audio and video, structuring pages for storytelling or explanation. Curriculum ideas: digital reports, research projects, learner portfolios, creative narratives. Hands-on activity: Participants begin creating a short interactive book that combines text, visuals, and media created earlier in the session.
