Market Day Masterpieces

Blogging Module - Come check it out.

On Fridays, we have 'modules' where each class has three different lessons with three different teachers over the day. Friday's are quickly becoming a favourite day - jam packed with new learning and energy!!

This term the modules are:

1. Art with Mrs Whelan
2. Japanese with Mr T
3. Blogging with Whaea Alice

The Blogging Unit is focused on digital communication and collaboration.  Over the past three weeks we have investigated how we can communicate online and how to do that responsibly and appropriately. All of sprint have practised logging into their google accounts and managing their folders and writing posts.

These blogs are set up as part of each student's google account and provide a 'sharing space' where students can publish work, share ideas and connect with others. So far we have learnt how to log on, make a new post and insert a picture.
