Today we recorded our digital trails from the last 24 hours on a map. We used our Chromebook History to remind us of all the places we had visited online at school. We also thought about the places we had visited online when we are not at school. We noticed that our digital footprint can get very big, very quickly.
What does your digital footprint look like over the past 24 hours?
Liku enjoyed creating the arm for his poster. He used lots of different shapes.
This week we used all our Cybersmart learning from the past term to create a poster in Google Drawings to share our top keyboard shortcut tip. We need to use lots of the keyboard shortcuts we have been learning and practising to create our posters. Do you have a top tip for using your chromebook?
Here is Devinah’s poster. What are the keyboard shortcuts that Devinah might have used to create the Chromebook in the poster?
Today we explored Tangrams to practise and gain confidence navigating our keyboard and keyboard shortcuts.
A tangram includes 7 shapes or polygons that can be moved, rotated and flipped to create objects, animals and people.
First we practised the keyboard shortcuts to move, rotate and flip. Then we tried some of the Tangram challenges.
Visit our learning site to see more about the Tangram Challenge.
Here are some of the challenges we tried.
We have been learning to work with shapes and lines. It is important so we can use our chromebook keyboard faster. Fatima said that making teeth was tricky. Terrell said that making the eyes and the pinchers was easy. Divine said making angles was easy. Liku said making the wings and the fire was easy.
Have you tried to create a drawing with shapes?
This week we exploring using shapes and line in Google Slides.
This will help us to:
learn keyboard shortcuts
practise using keyboard shortcuts
navigate my keyboard faster
create using Slides and Drawings
Can you identify the shapes and line tools we used to created these drawings?

Today we shared our blog profiles on our blogs. We had to remember all the steps to post to our blog including creating a unique title. We added out title last so we could use our blog post for inspiration.
All our blogs are linked from the class blog widget on the left. We hope you take some time to check them out and leave us a comment.
We are learning to make decisions about information we share and information we keep private online.
This morning we explored some blog from Panmure Bridge School. We do not know most of these learners however some of the learners we know from meeting them at community events.
We noticed what information these bloggers shared about themselves online. They shared a lot of their learning and what they have been creating.
Next we drafted our blog profiles for our blogs and though carefully about the information we would be sharing.
Next we will share our profiles on our blog. Visit our blogs using the links on the left.
