Exploring Blogs

 This week in our Cybersmart lesson we were exploring blogs. We had to find information from other student's blogs as well as statistics. We compared the blogs by putting the information in a table. 

Do you have a blog? How many blog posts do you have on yours? How many visitors have you had on your blog? We are thinking of ways to get more traffic on our blogs.

Here is Aimie's work from today. She has thought about her blog. Look on slide 4 and 5 for her ideas.

Kawa of Care and Quality Blog Posts

In our Cybersmart lessons we have been aiming to share quality blog posts. 

Here is Camille's work. Do you think this is a quality blog post? Please read it and comment on Camille's blog here.

Today I was learning about the kawa of care and how we can take care of our chromebooks. We watched a video about how we can take care of our chromebooks.  I pretty much knew most of the things it said in the video, but i did learn a few new things. I learnt that we shouldn't pile things on top of our keyboards because, if we do they keyboard might break and not function well.  The kawa of care is a list of rules we should follow to make sure our chromebooks do not break and malfunction. 

I enjoyed making the kawa of care slides and i also enjoyed learning about how we can take care of our chromebooks. I also liked how we have the kawa of care because it helps us be safe around our chromebooks and to take care of them.

I found it challenging to type the down the text in time. I also found it challenging to take my picture of my face because the classroom was a bit too bright. I also found it hard to find the right keyboard picture because there kinda weren't that much options to choose from.

My digital learning object shows I can add words to shapes, replace images with my camera app, use the Explore tool to find images we can reuse, change backgrounds and change fonts.

Next time I would change the slide colors to more cooler tones so it would look more pleasing to the eye. I would also change the keyboard picture and my photo.

R.E value challenge!

This week, our school was set a challenge. We had to create a poster displaying this term's school value FAITH, WHAKAPONO. We talked about what faith looks like, feels like and sounds like. We discussed synonyms for faith and searched the Bible and the internet for quotes. Then we started creating our posters. The challenge finishes on Friday so some of us will have our posters up on our individual blogs by then.

Code Life

This week Room 3 children have been learning about how video games work. They have been reading articles online and writing explanation pieces about the coding behind the scenes. Today they had to tell Miss Steele on a Flipgrid video what they have learnt so far.

Some of the videos were very entertaining and of course, informative!

We use Chormebooks in our class.

We have agreed on the Kawa of Care which guides us

and how we can be Cybersmart.

Horouta Waka

We worked with the teachers from the Museum.
We learnt about the Horouta Waka.
The kumara was protected on the waka as they travelled over the seas.
The waka came from Hawaiiki.
The waka landed in Turanganui-a-Kiwa.
