Mihi Maker

In our DFI session this week where we were looking at Computational Thinking I worked with Cheryl to support teachers to explore Gamefroot's Mihi Maker. This is a great tool to link students knowledge of their pepeha and the skills needed for computational thinking. I also did this for a session with students in class and we made connections to the Smart Footprint kaupapa - looking at which pieces of information we share publicly and which we keep private.

I have explored this programme several times before, but there have been some updates and it was great to have another go at it and support teachers to do the same.

My animation - By Vicki

I have been learning to create animations using Google Slides. My animation tells the story of what happens when it rains. I also learned to add audio to my animation. When I was searching for music, I needed to find music that was free to use and share. I found this on Youtube. Do you know how to find music that is in the public domain? 

Multiple images in a blog post

This morning in our DFI bubble one of our teachers asked about inserting multiple photos into a blog post. 

I have created this using a table and then inserting the images into the table. Not ideal, but a good work around.

I've just gone back to our agenda doc and Cheryl, our one of our facilitators in Gisborne has suggested using Google Photos to create a collage. A much easier way to get a great effect! Thanks Cheryl.
