I felt very shocked that racism still happens to this day. It was very sad when the people said how people judged them by their culture, colour and history.

Solving Social Media Mystery(SSMM)

For cyber smart today we  had to create a scenario to solve based on social media. You had to think of 2-3 questions to answer and your friend has to try to answer it too. Can you try to answer it too?

What would you do to stop her? I would tell mom to delete  her social media apps and accounts and lock her device/s up somewhere really high and hide the chairs, tables and keys from her.

Can you stop her in time before she gets reported for bullying or age restriction? Yes because we won’t waste any time and we will only let her buy her phone when she’s mature enough(which she was but is not anymore)

Installation Art Response

I think we did really good for less than two weeks. I think that Zoe made pretty good  mobiles and she put a lot of effort into it except she only made a few and I made most of them.  Zoe made the best 'Swirlies' (she made a lot of them and made them better than me) She made really good copper wire 'Roofs'. Feel free to comment and follow me.

Reading: Bean Rock

The story is about the oldest and only cottage type of lighthouse in the New Zealand: Bean Rock. The first lighthouse keeper of Bean Rock was Hugh Brown. We wrote tons of information in the 'Reading Comprehension Questions' sheet. 

My Abstract Art

Here is a slideshow about some art I made for the art show. Every slide there's an image of that step and there's also a small paragraph 
explaining that piece. There's a slide with the solo thinking in it. There's also a slide that explains abstract art and a slide with the final piece and a slide with me at the art festival. The good thing about abstract art is that you can change your mind whenever and it's freestyle. 

Mission:Improve Comment

This session we have learnt about a good blog comment. This time we had to improve a blog comment on a blog post. I chose a bad comment from Dani@Gilbertthorpe School. It had a lot of spelling mistakes as you can see in this image.  I learnt that we can add other information that's kind of relevant, like for example: I like stop motion too. I also learnt that it's good to ask questions so that you can start a conversation and possibly learn some things from them and them learning something from us. You also need to be positive and helpful. The whole point of a blog comment is that you tell them what you think about their post and how that can make it better to attract more people and to learn from other people.

What makes for a good blog, padlet

For cybersmart today we were going onto padlet and writing down what makes a good blog comment. I wrote a long list of things as you can see. For this  activity I enjoyed looking at people's comments. What I found challenging is that when I was looking at one blog's comments, and there were so many comments and all of them were so long that as I'm writing this right now I kind of need to hurry. If we were to do this again (which we're not)I would read blogs with not that much comments or I would read short comments or if there are lots of comments on the page I will only read some. Please leave a comment and you can also type on this padlet.
