(PYP) Exhibition Video Resource Page
The exhibition represents a significant event in the life of both the school and student, synthesizing the essential elements of the programme and sharing them with the whole school community. It is an opportunity for students to
exhibit the attributes of the learner profile that have been developing throughout their engagement with the programme. It is a culminating experience marking the transition from the PYP to the Middle Years Programme (MYP). |
At Doshisha International School, Kyoto 2013
Our aim was to use technology to improve our capacity to communicate to wider audiences while effectively combining elements of narrative, exposition and the grammar of cinema in order to entertain and inform audiences of peers and adults how we planned and executed our work for the Exhibition, highlighting the 5 essential elements of the program.

I would like to share with you an idea. We are presently having the students involved in the Primary Years Programme‘s (PYP) culminating Exhibition use theMiddle Years Programme‘s design cycle (left) as a fundamental part of their process.
As educators we all know how important transitions are; be they between classes, horizontally across a year level curriculum or vertically across a Programme of Inquiry in the PYP. We take our students at the end of the year (or throughout if we are that organized) and let them experience the new area of the school they will be going to and arrange for them to get to know their new teachers a bit. |

Now, I spent seven years learning my way around the PYP and have acted as a mentor for the exhibition numerous times. As the technology coach for teachers in grades 1-12 and the MYP Technology teacher in my present position I was approached by the grade five team asking how I could support them with some sort of video production for this year’s efforts.
You can click the title of this section for the full story if you like but I would like to share some of the resources with you here:
The Generosity of Apple Japan To better resource our efforts we approached Apple Japan with a request for some iPad Loaners. Happily, we received them the very day we were set to present the exhibition to the students and parents. I shall have to write a follow up blog post on my efforts to employ iTunes U a s delivery platform. |
Special thanks to Freya Vaughn & Sue Loafmann, superstar teachers.

No matter what, ANY video is a Digital StoryThis video was made in support of the Sakura Medal Book Trailer Contest here in Japan. Despite the obvious references to the contest, it offers a simple overview of things to consider when planning and creating a video project. In conjunction with the planning documents below, the advice and suggestions here will set you off on the right foot. I have also put a short tutorial about taking photographs for inclusion in your videos. It was originally intended for teachers but should be helpful. Whenever possible, don't spend time searching for the creations of others when you can be developing the skills to create use your own instead. |
