What I learnt in Technology this term

What I learnt in robotics 2021 

This term is the last day of term 1 but we have 3 weeks left of our group then we rotate. 

I'm in the Robotics group and my teacher is Mr Krishna. These past few weeks my group and I have learnt about many amazing things for example, how to build the m-bot together and take them apart, how to put music and lights into the m-bot coding and last but not least how to move the m-bot using the following codes on the site. Most of the things I learnt was coding and learning how to play this game called the Binary Game was fun especially with my classmates, Binary Game as you can see is a game but helps me and my fellow classmates with their coding while starting the m-bot.

This week was quite busy and fun but luckily we made it through the week and had an awesome time in my robotics class. 

3 weeks left until we rotate, I had an amazing experience although I had done robotics last year it was good having a quick rewind back on what we learnt and also helping the year 7s who don't know how to code and put the coding into the m-bot.

The students in my tech group as well as me had a well served time with Mr Krishna, always playing Kahoot or Quizzes with my classmates at the end of our class, laughing and trying to beat each other to come first place and always giggling and there for each other when they need help will be a favourite memory of my second tech class of 2021.

Google Drawn Fish - Cybersmart

 

Today's activity was not difficult although my hands are tired from dragging shapes to create this google drawing of mine but besides that I definietly had an awesome time completing this activity and learning the different types of shapes there is, the variety of colours and how to create a fish using google drawing shapes. 

This activity was really interesting because at first I didnt know how to create a fish using google drawings until I saw a photo and was trying to look for the shapes to fit the fishes and trying to understand its pattern until finally I got a hang of it and did it to the best of my ability :)

My fun experience with Renee Salesa

 

(Renee Salesa & Me)

Today was an amazing opportunity meeting Renee Salesa and getting to know how she started out as a dancer, before all this started we had the visitors introduced by our lovely principle. This was a duffy assembly and having Renee over to dance and answer our questions we have for her is amazing!

She is such an amazing dancer and as you can tell by her t-shirt she is in the Royal Family  (Famous dancing group by Parris Goebel) not only that but she has been in Ariana Grande music video and has visit to many different countries especially America.

Renee Salesa is 19 years old, born in Auckland Glen Innes !, as I was growing up I never knew that Royal Family dancers stayed, lived or was born in Glen Innes Auckland!

She is so tall, her personality is so sweet and kind and last but not least she's such an amazing dancer, when Renee said "Always believe in yourself cause you don't know what could happen" I guess that was one of her sentences that really stood out for me and will definitely help me. 

I had an amazing and fun experience talking and knowing Renee Salesa better and can't wait to see her again.

Chromebook Webcam

 

This is photo I took with my chromebook camera, shows my Pepeha in drawing that I created. Using my Webcam to take photos or record is fun especially with high quality features. I didn't learn too much about webcam but 2 things I learnt while taking a photo was how I was holding the chromebook and taking good care of it and another thing I learnt while taking a photo was knowing a shortcut which is pressing the space to take a fast and good photo.

Tidy Drive - Cybersmart Challenge

 

 

Today's cybersmart challenge wasn't difficult in fact it was very easy, this task I completed was about our drive,folders and how we name it and to make sure that there's no document,slide and more without a folder. While completing this I learnt how to move and delete unexpected folders as well as docs and keeping it neat and tidy. 

It was a fun and independent activity, I definitely had a good time completing this and learning more information about how to keep your drive nice and organised, this will definitely help finding my docs and more much easier. 

Bookmarks

 

This 4th Challenge of mine from Manaiakalani is about bookmarks.

For this activity we had to screenshot our bookmarks and write about why we chose those to be our bookmarks, as you can see by my presentation above it shows what we did and what I had to write about.

One thing I learnt about this activity was that we must be careful on what we bookmark and that we make sure that it is school appropriate which is why I will make sure that the following sites I bookmark is school appropriate. Don't forget to fix your bookmarks if they aren't school related!

Screenshot - Cybersmart

 

Room 6 and I, had another cybersmart activity by kawa of care - Manaiakalani.

For this tasks, we had to screenshot our class site, class blog, school site and my blog. As you can see by the following screenshots above I have labeled each screenshot. One thing I learnt while completing this activity was how I screenshot these following sites, you could've screen shot it with snipping tool, Snagit, Picpick and more but I chose to screenshot with Ctrl + Shift + Show window or F5. I chose this way because I find this way faster and efficient unlike using the following sites to screenshot which will take you for a while. 

 This activity was useful and fun to complete because of how I noticed the difference and much faster way to screenshot.

Know your keyboard

 

Today my class and I had to complete this second kawa of care cybersmart activity by Manaiakalani.

This activity was learning about your keyboard, knowing how to type without looking and knowing the shortcuts on chromebooks. So far I've learnt about the following things above and am very positive and comfortable with typing without looking as well as knowing the shortcuts on a chromebook.

Thank you Manaiakalani for teaching us these amazing chromebook skills.
