SLJ: Lesson 3

The task for this SLJ lesson is. You and your family decide to go out and visit a local market. When you’re there you meet a student who tells you all about what it’s like to go to school in their country. The student also gives you a page from their diary that shows you what a typical school day is like for them.

So the first thing I searched was what it is like to go to school in Mexico. I harvested lots of information, and I found out that the schools in Mexico start at 7:30 am and then end the day at 5:00 pm. Although I also found out that Mexico doesn't have the strongest public schooling available. Children can start school in preschool when they are about 3 years old. Students from grades 1 to 12 can go to school free but you must purchase your own equipment. 

This is all I found out about the schools in Mexico, I hope you enjoyed. 

My Reflection On Cybersmart

During cybersmart, I have learnt lots of things I have not even known before. But going back on the first term of cybersmart, we learned about "Smart Learner." The second term was "Smart Footprint," then "Smart Relationships." Now the last one is "Smart User.." Here is my reflection on this four sections of cybersmart. 

Term 1 - Smart Learner: 

I enjoyed it when there was a lot of lessons we can do, and it had very fun activities too.  I really didn't enjoy anything because it had fun lessons with some activities.

Term 2 - Smart Footprint:

In this term, we had to find out how we can get information about somebody. We also had to go deeper to keeping your personal information private. 

Term 3 - Smart Relationships: 

This time we were learning how we can have a positive conversation online, and making a comment better. like thoughtful, helpful, and something positive.

Term 4 - Smart User: Now the last term, we are not really doing that much except just covering about, the summer learning journey. 

My favourite thing in cybersmart this year was when we had to get a group and find out why we are losing interest in our blogs, and how we can get more people interested in our blogs.

I would really like it if cybersmart had a little more fun activities so we don't just make blogpost on what we did learn in cybersmart. 

SLJ: Summer Learning Journey

Hey Emma,
My name is Vann and I am from Hornby High School, I really like maths, reading, writing, science and also cybersmart. I like playing with my brothers, especially playing basketball and badminton. Next year I will be a year 8, I also enjoy hiking with my family, when the weather is not so good I will usually play games and watch movies during the weekends. Between the weekends I will try to work really hard to win the Summer Learning Journey and get some really cool prizes.

If I win, I want to get the drone so I when we are out hiking somewhere in the mountains, I can use the drone to get a good view around the mountains. If I didn't get a drone I would rather get a headphone instead of the drone. If didn't win headphones I will get the Chromebook, so whenever my Chromebook is broken I have a spare one. But anyways I hope I can still get any of the prizes.

A google a day keep you searching for days.

This week for cybersmart, we started to use the filters when you are searching by the teacher giving us the question. We had to use the filters to find out the answer. The main question was to find out the amphibious invention that was made. For an example a vehicle, if it can travel from land and water it is called an amphibious. The answer was an amphibious bicycle, it also turned out that the amphibious bicycle is not used very much now. We also learned to shorten our questions and make them on point.

This is what I found out:

• It was man-powered
• Capable of both land and water.
• It uses air-filled floats.
• It can fit a backpack.
• Its speed is about 1.2

Who is Austin Post?

In cybersmart we had to research the search bar, we had a question about who is Autin Post we searched in google, We took screenshots of what had come up. When I searched it on google it was Post Malone. I took screenshots of the search bar, natural results, and the filters. Here are the screenshots.

Natural Results

Bonus Question: 

How did Austin Post (Post Malone) choose the name he is best known by?

According to Wikipedia "Post Malone" chose the name as his stage name, when he was 14 or 15. It was a rumor that his name was a reference to a professional basketball player, known as "Karl Malone". But he also used a name generator and it came up with Malone.

I hope you enjoy this blog post and I hope you learned something. 

I need your "HELP!"

For the last 3 weeks, we are going to have a commenting challenge. Here is the challenge.
Over the next three weeks track how many comments you receive and who they are from. Each community group is worth a different amount of points. The team (Cybersmart Buddies) who have the most points by the end of the term will receive a reward. You can bribe, market and sell your blog in whatever way you see fit! Who is your target audience going to be???

Please help me with this challenge I would really appreciate it. Thank You!

How do we make a quality blog comment?

Some of you might already know how to make an excellent comment. But maybe some of you don't, to start off. You should write a positive start. For example, "Hi Carl, I really liked your work about how mummification works." It tells the blogger that you have liked his work, you should also put a thoughtful part. Here is another example. "I also have wondered what it is like to be a mummy, will it be hard?" It tells the blogger that you showed that you have actually read his work.

Helpful, the helpful part of the comment is pretty important. This is an example, "I think that there is one small mistake, I think that you have spelled something wrong with your work." The blogger will then remember to proofread his work before posting. The blogger might even improve..

But anyways I hope you enjoy and I hope you learned something, Bye!

The kid who got knocked down by a potato!

This term in our Cybersmart, we were learning about smart footprints and how to keep our place private. Afterward, we had to make something to teach people to how they can keep there place private and safe.  So Axle and I worked together and made a pick a path, it took us quite a while to finish it but when Axle wasn't here, I had to do all the work. But I couldn't work on it if Axle wasn't online on the form, so I didn't do anything to the form, so I just commented to peoples blogs. When Axle came back we worked really hard to finish.

So here is the pick a path, also before that, I need to ask you a question. Have you ever posted somewhere in your bedroom or in your bathroom? Anyways I hope you enjoy!

How To Make A Very Successful Vlog

This term in cybersmart, we have been creating a DLO of how to make a successful vlog. But first we had to be in pairs. As always I always go with Axle. You might be asking why? I always work with Axle because it is very easy for us to work with. Because we can sort things out very quickly and we don't get any problems. However back to the vlog, after we have been into 2 pairs we now had to make a DLO of how to make a successful vlog. Afterwards we have finished the video, it was a little bit bad because Axle and I haven't made a DLO for a long time now.  Although at least we finished and now I have a new goal, Make DLO's a little bit better. Still Axle and I were very happy with it as the teachers. But anyways I will put the video down at the bottom for the video. Bye!!

Cybersmart DLO

Yesterday we went to High School's auditorium to listen to John Parsons. Because he is an expert at Cybersmart, he taught us to be safe online. This DLO shows what you can do to be safe online and now I feel more confident about being Cybersmart. I hope this DLO can help you to be safe and I hope you like it!!
