Welcome to Term 1 2018 - keep re visiting here

This term we are looking at using different types of technology to help us with our learning.
We are refining our skills in using different types of software and programmes to enhance our learning...

In the next few weeks we are looking at google forms, survey monkey, edpuzzle and flipgrid to enhance our learning and help us with evaluation and reflection....

Technology is great when it works and today was no exception -  ! some things just didn't work !

Our WALTS for today included :


WALHT - change our perception on how we view the world

WALHT - develop empathy  towards  people less fortunate than ourselves

We talked about homelessnes and child poverty and feeding the needy and what we could do about it
We realized we didn't know a lot about the organisations that can help them so we are doing quite a bit of research about the different agencies

We used edpuzzle to view a video and give feedback about it and looked at some amazing statistics around the topic
While the figures were big we decided it was more embarrassing, sad and terrible that people in NZ and children in NZ are going hungry and living below the poverty line...


We answered a few questions and then recorded our responses in a video

here are a few videos so far... (COMING)


We did some short videos so look at these
