Using Screen Casitfy to problem solve

 Today we were using stop animation to create our own stories. We hit a technical glitch where the stop animation videos would not load on our blogs. I first tried uploading to youtube but they took hours to upload and process. So our third and best attempt was to use screencastify to play our animations on the screen and then add them to our blogs. 

We are learning how to create stop animations

 

This week we are learning how to create stop animations and add them to our blogs. This will be used as a new way of being able to present or display our learning when we are creating. 

WALHT edit code

This week we are having a go at editing code within scratch. 

Clarify new words

 

Today I was learning to clarify new words.  My digital learning object shows my word poem.

I enjoyed making the words fit the shape of a plane.

I found it tricky coming up with lots of words

Next time I would like to make my poem like an animation.

Easter Animation

 This week in our Cybersmart lesson we created an Easter stop motion animation in Google Slides. 

We used Ctl+D to duplicate slides. 

We used the arrow keys to move our egg slightly on each slide. 

We could preview our animation by presenting the lides and using the arrow keys. 

The end of the slides was a surprise. 

2021 Online Profile

 We have been working on our online profiles so we can update our blog details.

We had created a visual online profile with Google Drawings a few weeks ago. Then we wrote a more descriptive profile in Google Docs using Voice Typing last week.

If you look on the right-hand side bar of our blogs you will see that our WHAKAAHUA | PHOTO is now our 2021 photo. And right below it is our KO WAI AHAU? | ABOUT ME gadget.

All our student blogs are listed in the right-hand side bar labelled NGĀ ĀKONGA | STUDENTS.
