Digital Technology

 Kia Ora!

Today with Mrs Sumpter we were playing with Hour of Code. Hour of Code is a place where you can pick some games that you can code yourself. For example, say you did this maze for a start, you had to code the person to move. I did "Animate an Adventure Game", Which was on Scratch (who did a crossover with Cartoon Network). It's basically a game where you can code a cartoon character to collect things. I picked Steven Universe, my 2nd favorite Cartoon Network series. Here is my Scratch creation!

    

I think I did good! It was pretty easy to learn. How do you rate my game out of 10? I would rate it a 9.

Toolkit at Room 6

 Tena Koutou Katoa!

So today we did a little thing called Toolkit. It's basically this thing where you can join hangouts from other schools. My first hangout was about stop motion, and I'm pretty good at it! Second I did how to use canva from Hornby High. I wasted my time at the hangout because I couldn't hear a WORD they said, and last I learned about a site called remove.bg even though I used it like a million times. Remove.bg is pretty trash because I tried a picture and it rubbed out the person's foot.

Scale

Kia Ora!

Today is Friday, the day Mrs Sumpter comes to teach us. Today she bought in a new subject. Scale. To start, we measured the whole classroom. I forgot how long it was, but I think is was somewhere around 9 metres long. Mrs Sumpter handed us a paper with a bunch of tiles, so we could draw our classroom. We basically drew our classroom the same length, but a mini version with the tiles. I did my drawing while imagining I was looking at the class from the roof. So I kinda got it, I just forgot a few things. I took a picture of my drawing. 

I forgot things like the bookshelf, the standing table, the prayer focus and the whiteboard. 

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.

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.
