DLO- Explanation writing (Why is the ocean salty?)

 

We were learning to create a DLO (Digital Learning Object). A DLO is a slide of information, and explains how it happens and why it happens. I did why is the ocean salty there was a lot of things that I learnt from this, at the start some of them didn't make sense or I didn't believe something could contain salt. The things we had to do was choose what topic we wanted to do then research about it also make four diagrams of the order of how it happen.

I found it easy choose my topic because some of the topics that were on the slide I already knew so I wanted to learn about some other things I also found it easy to research about "Why is the ocean salty" because there was a lot of websites and some had a lot of information.

I found it hard to do my diagram because we had to make them with the shapes on google drawings and be creative with the shapes and you couldn't insert any images from the web. I also found it hard to do my planing because all the research you got you had to make the sentences longer and had to use your own words.

I really enjoyed choosing our topic for this writing because it gave us a option on what to do and so you didn't have to do the same as your friends and you can use your own brain. I also enjoyed to add all the pretty fonts and word art.

Next time I will make the word art more visible and bigger so you could see it better and change the background color. Also the arrows are very bright and not so bold. 

I was being a Researcher by writing questions down before researching it.

In the first week of term 4 room 9 and 10 got a surprise parcel sent to us. Nobody knew who it was from. We opened it up and saw there were letters from different children from the world that wrote  use letters. We chose a partner to work with to make the DLO (Digital Learning Object) about the country they were from. Once we pick a buddy we had to fill out worksheets about what we learnt. My buddy and learnt a lot from this letter and there were heaps of cool things they did in the country.

 

I learnt how to use a audio recorder and how to insert it onto my slide. I thought the audio recorder was very helpful because so you can give more info about the topic or away to help people to know how to say something. I learnt how to add a link to a image.     

I found it easy to use the voice recorder because it was really simple to use and it only had two buttons to press one to start and one to stop. I found it easy to resize images, insert images and insert audio in the slide because I already knew how to do it.

I found it challenging  to Insert a link a webpage, but after the teachers showed how to do it was not so challenging after they showed us how to do it. I also found it hard to make my slide center and tiny because it was very cramped and full.

I enjoyed working with my partner because it made it more easy cause we had to brains to finish it off and we both had are own chrome book so we got to get it finish faster because we got to go on the slide at the same time with our chrome book.

Next time I will add little bit more audio and make my images smaller and more center. Add more on to my google slide and more info.
