Pupils' Media
Ms Songsmith
Creative thinking - in terms of idea creativity - is not a mystical talent. It is a skill that can be practised and nurtured.
Edward de Bono
During project development and whilst pupils started to feel more comfortable in using the programs, took the initiative, presenting sides of their personalities, to create their own original media files, in their spare time, expressing their thoughts creatively to a range of topics relative to their daily routine and lives e.g. likes and dislikes, favourite pets, food, school life etc.
Description
Ms Songsmith is a program which automatically generates musical accompaniment in a variaty of different styles ( rock, pop, rap, etc.) for anyone's voice. Due to its use in a variaty of activities ( for repetition in history, in maths project, in EDL project , in Greek language) pupils decided to write their own lyrics ( in Greek language as the whole activity is voluntary with out any teacher's direction) and to sing (also in Greek language) their original songs on topics about friendship, daily routine etc. All the recordings completed on the break time between two lessons with pupils to prefer to stay in the classroom instead go out to the schoolyard for playing.

Visualized pupils' songs
As it was expected someone had the idea to visualise his songs in order to make clear their message.
The first two in the second line of the above songs were the inspiration for a pupil to use the online service Bing images search and the program Ms MovieMaker in order to create the following videos.

Visualized pupils' songs relative to curicullum
In addition, two more songs from other activities, relative to school subjects (Greek Language and maths), were also the inspiration for two more videos, showing that pupils have found a creative way to implement what they learnt during the project in order to learn the school subjects in a fun way.
For these videos were also used the online service Bing images search and the program Ms MovieMaker in order the following videos to be created.
