Today we learned to write an email.We need to include a specific subject and proofread before sending.
How we write emails also adds to our positive digital footprint.
Today we learnt we can make an informed guess about someone by reading what they share online publicly. Anyone can see this information so we need to remember to share with integrity.
Be kind, be positive, be helpful. Share content that you and your whānau will be proud of.
Show tika, pono and aroha.
Annamaria made an informed guess about Kiera based on what she has shared on her blog. More about today’s learning is on our class site here
We were excited to be able to welcome Miss Salton to Room 6. Miss Salton was farewelled from one of our Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu buddy classes, a couple of weeks ago. She will be helping lots of classes in Levin with their Cybersmart learning.
We explored our Digital Footprint over 24 hours and recorded all the places we had visited online. We noticed how our digital footprint can grow very big very quickly. It is important to be kind, thoughtful and helpful online so we can create a positive digital footprint.
After practising creating our first screencast last week we were excited to share them on our edublogs.
We had to remember some important steps before publishing our posts including:
Mrs Grant created a screencast with these instructions on our class site too.
When our posts were published we used the widget in our class blog to visit the blogs of our class to check they were visible.
Click the images below to listen to some of our screencasts.
This week we used the screencast App on our Chromebooks for the first time. There was lots to think about so we started by reading a text we had written. This will help us focus on using our device and the screencast app confidently. Also we can practise how we are speaking when we record our voice. When we listened to our recordings we noticed that our voices sound a lot different.
You can read more about this on our class site and see a helpful video too.
Today we explored Tangrams to practise and gain confidence navigating our keyboard and keyboard shortcuts.
A tangram includes 7 shapes or polygons that can be moved, rotated and flipped to create objects, animals and people.
First we practised the keyboard shortcuts to move, rotate and flip. Then we tried some of the Tangram challenges.
Visit our learning site to see more about the Tangram Challenge.
We are learning to have a thorough understanding of the Kawa of Care.
Today Mrs Grant came into our class to teach us more cool Cybersmart shortcuts. She taught us about shapes and how to move them around and make things. This is my house I made. Can you guess the shapes I used? Visit my blog
Today this morning Mrs Grant came to teach us how to use shapes to make people and I made this person. This is how to make a person. We had to go on shapes, then pick a happy face, then get a square and then put it down for the body. Then press the lines to make the legs and then do little circles for the shoes. It was a bit tricky to do it but it’s very easy for me. Then I added a Tongan flag because that is my culture. Here is my Person and my Tongan flag. Visit my blog
