Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu and Smart Footprint

Today we were excited to explore our new Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu Team. We used Google Earth to explore the location of the schools in our team and Google Maps to see how far they are from Pt England School.  We looked at the school buildings, playground and sports fields to see how similar they are to Pt England School. We noticed lots of green paddocks and bush around Manakau School.

Visit our team’s blogs from the Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu widget in the right side bar.

We have also been learning about the difference between public and private when we share personal information about ourselves online.

We explored some awesome blogs from Manaiakalani learners and tried a Thought and Sort to practise making smart decisions online.

 

Tangrams

Do you know what a Tangram is? Read our blog post then let us know in the comments.

Today we were using our keyboard skills to rotate and flip shapes.

We used the Tangram builder to create different animals, objects and shapes. Visit our site and try the Tangram Builder.

We screenshot our Tangrams and shared them in a slide deck.

Summer was able to build all of these using the Tangram Builder. Can you name each of them?

Creating Posters for our Class

This week we have been creating posters to share our top tips for keyboard shortcuts.

We practised using the Shift Key to select more than one object. Also to resize objects and keep their shape.

Try holding down the Shift Key when you are resizing  a circle so it doesn’t turn into an egg shape.

When posters are ready to share we will upload to our blog. Mrs Nelson want to print them for our walls. This will be very helpful.

Do you have a favourite keyboard shortcut? Let us know in the comments.

Practising using our Touchpad

We need to take care using our touchpad. When we drag objects we use one finger and swipe our touchpad gently.

Sometimes we use one finger on our hand to press and hold our touchpad and a finger on our other hand to move objects.

When we get good at this we can also use one hand. 

Let us know in the comments if you use one or two hands when using your touchpad.

Practising our Basic Facts
Practising Our Typing

We are learning to navigate our Chromebook so we can find our learning faster.

We have bookmarked our learning site. We are practising how to move a doc into a folder and find it again quickly.

It took our whole class 1 minute and 3 seconds to find our doc in our Drive today. Next week we are going to try for a faster time.

We are also making Cybersmart choices about where we are on our Chromebooks so we are always in the

Kawa of Care by Caylee and Room 15

Today Room 15 watched a video of learners demonstrating the Kawa of Care. We challenged ourselves to spot all the examples in the video. All our ideas were recorded on the whiteboard and we took a photo to share on our blog.

Caylee used the slides recording tool to read our list.

We are excited to be getting our Chromebooks this afternoon. Mrs Grant has shared a bookmark challenge on our class site to help us to be in the right place at the right time, with the right attitude.
