Lesson Toru - Smart Relationships - Spam and Online Conversations

Hello There! (the kid named There: hi)

Miss Morgan, our Cybersmart teacher, has introduced us to a new site called Book Creator. It is a site where you can make your very own book. 

Our Topic:

Spamming, and how to start conversations online.

A spammer is a person who gives random peeps a link to inappropriate content, or to scamming sites blah blah blah. How to know if someone is a spammer is to click on their name. If they have a blog, then they are not a spammer. If they DON'T have a blog, that is a spammer so DELETE THAT COMMENT AND GO CRY YOURSELF TO SLEEP. Nah just kidding but still just ignore that comment

How to start an online conversation

If you want to start a conversation online you have to make sure you are asking and answering open questions. That means that the question you typed will most likely lead to more and more comments, starting a conversation.

The Cover

Reflection:

I never used Book Creator in my LIFE. However, it is fun and it doesn't take long to get used to!

At first, I knew what spam was (both the food and the stuff online) but I completely didn't know that if you click on someone's name it would show you if they had a blog or not.

Blog Commenting

 What I know about blog commenting is...

- It helps the creator to improve their posts

- It can encourage other people to comment 

- Comments have to be nice, not mean

- Commenting mean things online is a form of cyber-bullying

- It has to make sense or the reader won't understand

- You can comment to share your opinions with others

Last week we learnt how to put a link into a comment.

<a href="insert URL here">Insert display text here</a>

Where it says "insert URL here", you delete it and paste the site link you want to share.

Where it says "Insert display text here" You delete that and type in whatever you want to say, e.g "Click here to watch" or "Click here to visit"

Have a try commenting on this blog post with the tutorial I just showed you! It's confusing at first, but I'm sure you will handle it.

Zentangle (Zendoodle) Drawing

Kia Ora!

Have you heard of a Zentangle? It's a type of art, where you draw a bunch of lines over the paper, then draw patterns in each of the gaps. My class was handed a paper sheet with gaps to put zentangles in. I used a pen to draw the zentangle. I took a picture of my sheet to show you. I've only done 4, because there is another side. (I really want to do more but the teacher wont let me 😑😑😑)

To be honest, I don't think I actually realized what I was doing when I was drawing zentangles. Lets just say I zone out when I'm drawing.

What did you think of my zentangles? Maybe you could have a shot at drawing them, too!

Pirate Origin Stories

Guten Tag!!!

Charles and I had a bit of free time of reading yesterday. We finished early, so we made the origin stories of our pirates, CSP (my pirate) and Horrible Plank (Charles' pirate) Here is the origin story.

PIRATE FOR HIRE!!! ↖(^ω^)↗

Kamusta!

Ahoy Matey! Wonderin' why I'm speakin' like a pirate? OUR TOPIC FOR THIS TERM IS PIRATES!!! So anyway, (I won't speak pirate anymore cause it's confusing to type) Me and my friend, Charles created a Pirate For Hire poster. We also made some other stuff like swords and flags. Here is the poster for now. I'll post the other things sometime soon.
