BACKGROUND:
Sometimes a simple message can be an effective one. You are creating a video that will be
a lasting legacy at St Francis Xavier's for many years to come. Think about how you use
the iPad and what sort of message you want to give to students who become part of the
iPad program in the future.
What are the important issues when you have the privilege of using an iPad in the
classroom?
What are some of the pitfalls?
What are the benefits?

In Wollongong a group of students at the school were given the task of creating an anti-
bullying video. There were tremendous issues at the school with bullying. The leadership
of the school brought the school leaders in and spoke to them about the problem...The
outcome? Students knew the anti-bullying message very well, the real problem was that
people would be by-standers and do nothing to help those being bullied.

The students created this video for an audience of students and the general public and it
sends a powerful message.
