Today in our Cybersmart lesson we talked about playing games online and how to keep them fun and friendly. Lots of us play Minecraft, Roblox and Fortnite. Lots of us use the chat bot to communicate with others while playing games online.
We watched a video that showed 2 friends playing a game together online. We thought about some of the things that happened in their game. We then looked a traffic light and what we can do safely when playing online games, what things would make us stop and think and the things that we would absolutely not do.
We used a Jamboard to put our ideas together. We were in teams and the whole class was using the Jamboard at the same time. You can view our Jamboard here.
Below are screenshots of each team's ideas.
Do you like playing games online? How do you make sure you are Cybersmart when playing online games?
Today in our Cybersmart lesson we were thinking about the media we use and all the different types of media there are.
We remembered how to use Remove Background and made a poster of the media we like to use.
Here is the start of your work.
This week in our Cybersmart lesson we were thinking about the different types of media there are and which ones we use.
We brainstormed on a Jamboard the media we use. We separated it into digital and physical and whether they made us sad or happy. It was a bit tricky working on a Jamboard together but we managed it in the end.
Here is our brainstorm. Do you use the same media as us? Would you add anything else?
This week in our Cybersmart lesson we completed our blog profile for our gadget that is seen all the time on our blog. This is a profile where we share more about us. We are Cybersmart and share personal but not private information.
Today in our Cybersmart lesson we created a quality blog post with our "About Me" Google Drawing that we started last week. This is part of our learning about what information we can share online. We also need to have this information on our blog so readers know a bit more about us.
We learned how to start a new blog post, how to add a title to our blog post, how to put the labels on and how to embed our digital learning object using the HTML code.
Our mahi is in a blog post and is now in our WHAKAAHUA | PHOTO gadget as well. It is in the gadget so that it shows at the top of our blog all the time.
Here is a snip of Cooper's WHAKAAHUA | PHOTO gadget.
You can view our work on our blogs.
This week in our Cybersmart lesson we get our on blogs!
Lacey has spent some of her lockdown time making toys for her baby sister. She has made a Slidedeck so we can see how it is made. She has written some very clear instructions with pictures so we can see what is happening.
This is awesome work Lacey.
Did you know that it is Maths Week?
Room 9 created a Maths Quiz in Google Slides. They used the basic facts that they are currently learning as the Maths for the quiz.
The students then concentrated on linking the right answers to a slide that prompted them to go to the next question. And link the wrong answers to a prompt to "try again". Room 9 worked with a lot of concentration to get the mahi done. Ka pai tō mahi!
Here are some of our quizzes to try...
This week in our Cybersmart lesson we were publishing quality blog comments.
Room 9 really out their imganitive skills to the test this week. We had been learning about the 9 stars of MAtariki.
Our task was to describe a star as if it was a human. We had to write about what they looked like, what might they wear and what their personalility might be like.
We had to write 3 paragraphs and insert them into a new slide under the star we wrote about.
They are amazing descriptions.
This week in our Cybersmart lesson with Mrs Torrie we were creating stop motion animations in Google Slides. To start we heard the story of "The Eyes of Tawhirimatea". Have you heard that story?
We were able to make the stars appear one by one in the sky. Some of us tried to put the stars in the correct position. Do you know all the names of the Matariki stars?
When we showed each other our mahi we found the "publish to the web" link and changed the timing of the presentation. We walked around the class and looked at all the presentations. Here is some of our work.
Ameya has got 9 stars in her sky...
Lacey has added the names of the stars to her presentation...
Jessica has made her stars all different colours and shapes...

Callum has named all the stars and he has remembered how to use another Glow Text to make a title.
Today we were learning how to comment on blogs.
We have to be positive, thoughtful and helpful.
We have to write it like a letter and we must remember to write our name at the end.
We are going to answer this sticky question today to practise commenting.
Which one would you rather? And remember to tell us why.
Today in our Cybersmart lesson we had a challenge to draw and only use 2 kinds of lines - curve line and polyline.
Here is some of our work from today...
This week in our Cybersmart lesson we had to make a weather forecast.
We used the camera app on our Chromebook and set the timer so we could get a photo of us standing. Then we had to remove the background using the online Remove Background site.
When we inserted our image we had to choose the icons to show the weather and use Mote to record ourselves talking.
Here is some of our work....
As part of PB4L we have discussing what a good friend is. Our task was to write a paragraph about a good friend. The first sentence had to be the main idea, then we adding supporting details.
Our writing challenge was to include the special sentences we have learning - simple sentences, red, white and blue sentence, and a w start sentence.
We used remove background after taking our photos and Motes to record our paragraphs.
I am really proud of the paragraphs children of Room 9 wrote.
In Room 9 we have learning to use 'w' start sentences in our writing. We have been focusing on 'when' and 'while'.
Our task was to find a funny picture and write a w start sentence to go with the picture.
Have a look at some of our sentences.
This week in our Cybersmart lesson we created a Visual Mihi.
We talked about delivering messages with images without any words.
We also talked about using images that are labelled for reuse.
This week in our Cybersmart lesson we carried on practising our trackpad skills by building a robot.
We used shapes to build a robot. Then we resized, recoloured and rotated shapes to make it look how we wanted it to.
We now need to think about how we can stop plastics ending up on our beaches and hurting the sea life.
This week we did a challenge with Chromie the Chromebook.
We had to use both hands on our trackpad to drag and drop, to resize and to click into the correct place to add text or numbers.
We are in a Manaiakalani programme called Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu.
Welcome to our class blog.
We look forward to sharing our learning with our school,
our whānau and friends everywhere.
