Computer Access Duration
   
  Students worked in pairs and were allocated 20 minutes each week to use one of the classroom computers

  4 weeks
Rationale
   
 
This unit integrates aspects across the Key Learning Areas of English, Society and Environment and Mathematics.

It involves students researching the different forms of land-based transportation (e.g. walking, running, skating, cycling, car, wheelchair, etc) that can be used and re-create this within an Xpression.

The classroom teacher came up with the idea after investigating the Transport Object category.

Student Tasks
   
   
The class was provided with an activity outline by the teacher that required them to produce the following by the end of the 4 weeks:

Research information regarding how people get around on land.
Choose a Kahootz 'world' that will be an appropriate setting.
Combine the use of transport-related Objects with keypoint animation to show a vibrant street-scene.
Use grouping to attach people to Objects. (e.g. A child on a skateboard)
Place appropriate sounds on the objects.

Involvement for Xpression Participant
   
   
Each participant needs to find out how many modes of transport are represented in the Scene. They will need to explore the World to discover this.
Interrogate the type of Object and World keypoint animation used.
Examine the timing of the keypoint animation to see how collisions have been avoided.
   
Learning Outcomes for Student Creator
   
   
Researching modes of transport.
Calculating a range of synchronised keypoint animations.
Ensuring that the multiple moving Objects do not collide.
Explore the different uses of grouping Objects.
Allows the student to demonstrate their understanding of spatial concepts.
   
Collaborative Potential
   
   
Students can add other forms of transportation such as air, sea or space to the Xpression.
The timing of the keypoint animations can be changed to gauge the effect.
The class could challenge others to come up with new forms of animation in the form of inventions.
