Cybersmart Week 7

This week we have looked at our digital footprint and how available our images and information is online. Below is an image showing all our students who we could find on the day. Those that have nothing linked to their names or have any photos had a minimal online presence.

Many of the students in room 9 had a small digital footprint which required really specific words in order to find. The learning is focused around how we show ourselves online and what we share. We then talked about what were some of the ways we could keep ourselves safe online.

This week in room 9 we have been looking at how to teach different reading strategies. Room 9 students learn new strategies each week and we wanted to talk about how you can learn these simple strategies in an easy way. The students have created step by step tutorials either with video tools or on a drawing and have broken down the steps needed to achieve these strategies. These will eventually be shared on a class site, so the students have a learning site that they have created themselves

It is Samoan national language week and we thought we would finish the week by having a sing along to the National anthem.
