TeKids Friday - we all did a workshop on voicethreading at school. We showed the kids how to create their own account identity and then record their thoughts on the slideshow. media type="custom" key="9406072" 13.6.11 spicynodes.com ZAC AND KALEB!!!! media type="custom" key="9750388" [|spicynodes.com]

OUR REFLECTIONS. Amber- I liked this tekids session because we had to find out ourself how to use the web 2.0 tools. Phoebe- the spicynodes site was cool because you could change how you prsent and add images,vidio clips and text.the other site was called prezi but we were notable to try it.this session was the best of the year. Zac- today at tekids we went on a website called spicynodes and prezi.But we wern't able to go on prezi because we did not have a password. Kaleb- At TeKids, we used two web 2.0 tools called Spicynodes and Prezi. The topic was "Great Leaders." On Spicynodes, we could insert pictures and videos and change our backdrop.

24th June, 2011 Today we taught other students how to leave comments on our blogs:

Lily Today I taught Mikayla and Morgan. . It was awsome when we watched the movie of the pig revenge. I liked seeing Mikayla thinking heaps when I taught her how to comment properly. It was annoying when heaps of people came and talked to us.

Zac - Today I liked that we got 15 more minutes planning time at the beginning of TeKids. We got to laugh and enjoy the animation but we didn't to write a comment about the movie. We wrote one comment but is was hard to write because we weren't sure where to go.

Bella - today I liked when John and I were laughing at the Star Wars animation. Mrs Dacre thought I was a very good teacher. John listened very carefully to the instructions.

Today I worked with Cole and Elias. We were learning to post comments on our school blog sites. We had a lot of fun looking at other classrooms work. Cole and Elias both did 2 great comments. WE worked together to write the comments. Sadly the computers were very slow so we didn't get to see many slide shows. Kelly.

Phoebe - Alena was on Room 4's blog and posted a comment about guide dogs. I liked that Alena thought about why she loved guide dogs and how guide dogs can help. It was also handy having extra time before with Mrs Dacre to discuss the day. The only problem was that we did not have Java.

Student Led Conference

Zac Year 3 - At the Student Led Conference I learnt how to work PhotoPeach. You can make clips with music, you can play with images of animals. I would use Photopeach to answer question in our Inquiry Learning. I learnt alot using the apple computers, like different websites. I also learnt more about embedding.

Bella Year 3 - At the Student Led Conference I learnt how to use Piknic. It showed how you can make photos using Apple Mac. I would use Piknic on our class blog. I learnt a lot about different tools we can use and it was that we got a lot of turns at each new thing. I want to use these new tools as a TeKid at our school.

Kelly Year 6 - At the Student Led Conference I learnt how to use many web tools. My favourite was tool was Photopeach. We made up quizzes to go with the photos, trying other peoples quizzes was really cool. Using apple computers was very different to using the ones we have at our school; you can do so many things on them. Photopeach would be good for learning because its a fun imaginable way to remember things. Its a good a good way of presenting artwork and class working on our blog. I also learnt to put Photopeach onto a flash drive.

Lily Year 5 - At the Student Led Conference I learnt how to use Piknic. You learn how to design and change a photo. We used apple macs. We went to photo booth to take some photos then we saved it on I-Photo. Then we went on to Piknic and then uploaded the photo. I learnt so much. Using new tools makes me feel great.

Phoebe Year 4 - At the Student Led Conference we learnt four different web 2 tools including photopeach.On photopeach you can create a slideshow quiz with captions or just a plain slideshow but better. One of the other sites was Piknic. Piknic is a web 2 tool, used to make photos much more extraordinary with characters and drawn images. You can also and effects to.

Kaleb Year 6 - At the Student Led Conference, I learnt how to use Picnik. Picnik is a web 2.0 tool which you can use to turn your average pictures into an amazing masterpiece. You upload your picture and the magic will start. To bling your photo up, you can use special effects like neon or changing the colour of the picture. Learning something new is always a pleasure.

=I Can Animate=

On TeKids Friday we are upskilling other kids in how to use I Can Animate. We are teaching someone different each week for a few weeks. We have gathered resources and we also got this cool blue stuff that feels like foam that we can mold into different things.
