Copyright and Tshirt Design

Today in Cybersmart we learned about Copyright and attribution. We learned that to use other peoples images you have to have permission or use "Free to use" images. 

In this task we had to design 3 tshirts: 

The first tshirt we used any image from Google Images. 

The second image we used a free to use image from the explore tool. 

The last image we created our own image that needed no attribution at all.

Scams and Phishing

 Today in Cybersmart we learned about Scams and Phishing. It's important to look hard at the websites go to, pop-ups, or emails we receive. Sometimes they might be scams of phishy.

We had lot's of fun figuring out what types of things we needed to look out for.

Replying to comments

 In Cybersmart today we learned the importance of replying to comments. 

We have gotten so good at commenting on other peoples work, and making sure they are positive, thoughtful, helpful. Now we wanted to make sure that we are replying to comments that other people send to us.

Team 4 Art Rotations

 Team 4 had so much fun during our Art Works Rotations. We made music beats, dances, photography and painting. In Ms Tumahai's class, we go to paint an emoji of how we were feeling at the time. 

Epro 8 Challenge

Room 11 got to do the Epro 8 Challenge this week. Their challenge was to make something that 

could be lifted. To make a crane was difficult, we had not heard of or seen this Epro 8 before. We tried our best with the little information Ms Tumahai gave us and it was a Challenge. We split into groups of 4 and carried this heavy case to space where we could start the challenge. We did well to communicate with each other but we were still confused. Ms Tumahai gave us a few suggestions which were helpful, and we were soon tying, tightening, pushing, pulling and winding things. None of our creations could lift anything but it was fun. 

 

Room 11 MoTaT Trip

What an awesome way to end a busy term. Room 11 went to MoTaT to learn more about 

coding. We got to code robots. We got to watch them race and crash, it was a lot of fun.

After coding robots, we got to explore MoTaT. We went to the old village church and Moi Moi said the karakia and we all joined in with him. We rode on the tram it was such a fun day.

Cyber Smart in Room 11

We have been busy over the last couple of terms trying our best to be cyber smart on our Chromebooks.

I have certainly learned much more about doing things quickly and more innovative. The key here is for the students and me to try to work on incorporating this learning into our weekly planning.
