World Cup Fever Workshop

VIP conducted a very fun workshop at Nexus International School on June 30th, 2010.

In conjunction with the FIFA World Cup 2010, we cooked up a World Cup Fever themed workshop specially for the teachers. Afterall, Nexus International School teachers hail from different countries; it'll be interesting to see how they express their love and excitement for their home country or favorite team through an iMovie project.

The workshop is separated into two groups-Shah handled the advanced level group, while I conducted the class for the basic level group. Both of us prepared different sets of projects for the teachers to work on.

Shah's group of teachers created a World Cup Fever Commercial using primarily the iSight and iMovie. Teachers were required to use both sets of fingers to depict the football players 'kicking' a scrunched up paper football around (e.g. left hand is painted with a Spanish flag while the right hand is painted with the Portugal flag). This is an excellent project as it combined traditional art, sports education/appreciation and technology element into one single project.

Here are some images from the Advanced Level Group:

My group of teachers on the other hand, worked in groups. They are required to work according to the slogan, "Feel the Game. Love the Game. Win the Game".

Each group were given three sets of digital camera, three sets of cardboard cut-out FIFA World Cup Trophy, three sets of card reader to transfer the images, and three real soccer ball to work with. They are also required to assign roles e.g. talent/model to pose according to the slogan, photographer, and iMovie Editor.

It was really cool to see the teachers working together to produce a project in just less than an hours time! The energy was high and the pace was just nice. Love it.
