My how to care for a chromebook

We were learning to make a comic on this website called Comix, we had to make a comic about how to take care of a chromebook and what is the lesson from it.  Also trying to get people to be more careful with chromebooks and listen to people that are giving good advice.

I found it easy to add all the text boxes to the comic because there was only like to clicks so you can get it in and I had to think of a story that could happened but hopefully not but it sounds like it could happen one day to someone.

I found it hard to choose what character for this comic because there was multiple different characters to choose from and there was none that I really like but then I came across the one that is in the comic before I found it I saw one that could work but it didn't have the emotions that I wanted.

I really enjoyed this because I got to sit with all my friends and getting to choose our own characters and not a one that is to bland and boring because then they will all look the same.

Next time I need to work a bit faster  because I was quite behind because I was talking to my friends on what character I wanted to do and also and a background on the comic because it looks very boring and maybe some more characters.

My Te Whare Tapa Wha

We were learning to make a Te whare tapa wha connection map. With this learning we had to place in things such as Te taha hinengaro,  Te taha whanau, Te taha tinana, Whenua and Te taha wairua. For Te taha hinengaro I did a music note meaning music and friends , Te taha tinana I did biking and going to the beach with them, Te taha wairua I did a heart that says be kind and a smiley face, Te taha Tinana for me was biking, ballet, clarinet and St John and for whenua is Germany. 

I found it easy to find my images and what words I had to because I just had to think about what I like to do, my family, where I'm from, my spiritual and mental & emotional.  Also I found it easy because we didn't have to do complicated pictures.

I found it hard to arrange all the pictures and words so they didn't look like there all together and make it look all messy, otherwise it will be really hard to read and not know where everything will go.

I really enjoyed that we could choose what to do and we got to see another one so we could get an idea of what our Te Whare Tapa Wha could look like and also we could ask a friend if we needed help.

Next time I need to try make my font a bit bigger.  I also could change the colour of the text and make the images bigger because I have space to make them bigger.

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. 

       

France DLO

 

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.
