Our connections

We have been learning about the connections we have in our lives. 

We mapped out our connections to the people and places in our lives and what these mean to us. We hope to see the connections we have and reasons for having them growing over the year.

SMRF it!

We have been learning about strong passwords and how to make copies of documents. We've been using the acronym "SMRF it" to help us remember to: Stop, Make a copy, Rename, File. 

Here is a video from John to help us remember!

Week 7 - CyberSmart game.

Today we were making a CyberSmart game. In the slides we used a variety of links and resources relating to what we have been learning with James. (James is a person that work's for Ako Hiko cluster of schools and helps us with our learning). 

If you have any ideas of what resources might be useful to add in the slide, we would like you to share your ideas with us. Also, please let us know if any links are not working quite right. 

Have you made anything similar that we could learn from?

Week 5

On Friday we were lucky enough to go to Tiritiri matangi which is a conservation island about an hour from downtown Auckland by boat. It was a wonderful day full of new experiences and learning opportunities. We went to the downtown Auckland ferry terminal by bus, from there we caught the ferry to Tiritiri matangi. Educators met us there and we split into groups for a guided walk up to the lighthouse. Here are a few photos from the day. Please check back to see some of our follow up learning.

Week 5

In the build up to our trip to Tiritiri matangi we have been looking at some of the island's history. Here is a timeline created by Nafisa, Losaline and Milika.

Perhaps you could teach us how to embed slides on our blog to make our work more accessible and our posts more interesting?

Should I use that image/music/video?

Week 4

We have been learning about Copyright with James this week. Here are some of Fareni's thoughts on what you should think about before using that image/video/music before checking it is free to use or being given permission.

You can learn about some of this for yourself here.

The story here might also make you think about whether or not to use that image without asking!

We still have some learning to do on this topic, you could use this template to show us your learning about copyright.

What are some of your favourite sites to use for free images or to make your own music and videos?
