SHARE! Whanau netbook training

As part of Manaiakalani Education Trust, Glenbrae school supports tamariki and whānau to learn how to use their chromebooks in the best possible way. We call this our Kawa of Care and includes everything from Looking after the device, being Cybersmart, and home learning. 

Last night we invited whānau to join us to learn about the Kawa of Care so that our new chromebook learners can begin to take their devices home. By taking their device home they can continue their learning journeys, anywhere and anytime! 

It was an absolute delight to see our talented tamariki, showing their whānau through our learning site, this class blog and their own personal blogs. Mothers, fathers, grandfathers all took part in using their children's chromebooks and got to practicing writing thoughtful, positive and helpful comments on their blogs. 

It was awesome for our fantastic Room 7 learners to share their learning with their families. They were very proud of their work and I was very proud of them for leading the learning in the way that they were sharing with their whānau!

Well done tamariki, and thank you to the wonderful family members who came along. We couldn't do this without you! 

What a Kahoot!

Today in Room 7 Learn Zone we participated in an online Kahoot Quiz. 
Mrs Parker loaded 13 questions from our learning in the Life Education van. Each of us used our devices (tablets and iPads) as a game pad to answer the questions. 

This quiz was great for reminding us about all the amazing things we learned, and it helped those who hadn't remembered to learn it the second time around. 

The best bit about Kahoot is it told us straight away if we were correct or not, and what the correct answer was. There was a leaderboard to keep us all interested too. We could see how close we were to the person in front of us and improve our score by answering correctly and quickly. It was a great challenge for our brains! 

Well done to our top 5 this week: 
It was a really close game. Before the last question the order was Davarni, Honey, Luisa, Salesi and McKenzie.... how quickly the tables can turn.
Well done to everybody, we all participated and all learned a lot!
