Virtual Reality in 9M SST

This Term my 9M SST class is studying Kiwi Culture. We have been working with Monika Kern & Kerry Leaf from the Waitangi Treaty Grounds Education Centre. Both Monika and Kerry have been teaching our students how to use 3D applications and tools and I got them all to each create a poupou/ designed post that would represent who they are and their culture. They also wrote out their pepeha/ place of belonging and Kerry put it together in a Virtual Reality whare/house. I am hoping that Kerry can video tape a 3 minutes short movie which we can narrate and put audio/sound to so that I can enter our class into an upcoming film festival in November. Here is a taste of what we have created.
