Making a GIF

 Today we learnt how to make a GIF. We had to make just a few changes to each frame to make it animated.  I found it hard to draw just using the mouse pad! Everyone had a lot of fun creating their Christmas GIFs!

 

Safe Surfing

Today we learnt how to use the  Google voice search. I was surprised at how well the microphone picked up the correct words in a noisy classroom! What great listening Google!!

Seeking Help When Things Don't Go Right On The Internet

 We have been learning about how to keep safe on the internet. This week we learnt how to seek help if things don't go right on the internet.

Don't Fall for Fake

 We have been learning about social engineering and how some people try to trick you into giving them your personal details or scam you in some way.  Don't fall for something fake!

LunaPic Collage

 

We learnt how to use LunaPic today. You upload a photo of yourself into LunaPic and chose a filter or an art effect to change the photo into a type of art. It was fun looking through all the effects and filters, you could waste a lot of time looking at them all. It was hard to choose a style but I think the ones I chose are my favourites of the effects I saw.

What is Media?

 This week one type of media I used was the radio. I listened to the All Blacks test against Australia on the radio in the car as we were driving home from Hamilton and couldn't watch the game live on tv like we normally would. It was very different listening to the game and having to picture what was happening in my head instead of seeing it all on the tv. 

My Visual Mihi

 We are learning to create a visual mihi without using words. I had to find images using the explore button so I knew I was allowed to use them without having to get permission. I had to insert  pictures that showed some of my favourite things. I had to take a selfie but I could not work out how to turn on the camera so I copied the image from my blog profile to put into my visual mihi.
