Introducing our athletics day reporters

Today is a great day for Stonefields Athletics.
It is an overcast day with the sun fighting to come out from the clouds.  All the Y0-2 learners are currently out in the field participating in athletics day.

Hub 9 Year 3 learners are also 'out in the field' but for a different reason. Today they are our online bloggers.

They have splintered into groups of 4 and are out capturing all the highlights from the day.

Stay tuned for more fast breaking athletics stories...

Lights, Camera, Action!

Today was filming day in Hub 9 during our digital learning lessons.
We're going to be World Famous in the Manaiakalani Cluster thanks to our amazing movies about 'What would a cybersmart learner do?'

We wrote our scripts, practiced our acting with our buddy, and today we filmed it.
Mrs Grant was the chromebook director and Miss Campbell was the iPad director.  We had loads of fun!

It's important to be cybersmart when you work on your device and we hope you learn as much from watching our videos as we did making them.

Stay tuned...for our blog premiere.

What should I share online? What should I not share?

We can share just about everything online, but should we?  
We have the tools to learn online now we are  bringing what we know about what we can share online and what we really shouldn't.

Great learning conversations overheard with Mrs Grant...
I would share my favourite learning on the blog.
I wouldn't share my last name.
Some things we might keep private (age, how many brothers and sisters we have)
Some things we will definitely keep private (Our full name, home address).
I might put my pets name up there because if my pet got lost people might be able to help me find them.

We had great discussions about what we should keep private and what we could put online.  We then had a discussion about what websites we could share on.  We decided that we could share information on website that we knew who owned them, but we still weren't going to share our private information on those sites. If we are not sure we would ask our parents or our teachers.

Today we did a lot of THINKING, CONNECTING, REFLECTING, and being SELF AWARE about our online digital footprint.
