Japan

This week we have been learning how to skim and skan. We were given a slideshow to make a copy of and fill out the slides to make it our own. We had to read a bunch of different texts to find the information we needed. Here are the links to some of them: Japan - EPIC , It's Cool to Learn About Countries: Japan , Nintendo Video Game Designer. They are all on epic, so if you have an individual epic account from your school, you can read them.

We had to change the background, font, and text colour of each slide. I didn't end up finishing my entire slideshow because I kept getting distracted, but I will post an update on them once I am finished. It was quite challenging to finish the slides that I did do. I really enjoyed learning about different things in Japan. Next time I would change how much I did on my slides, so that I could get them done. My digital learning object shows that I can embed a slideshow onto my blog. 

Here are my slides:

Student Led Conference Invitation

 For the past couple of days my class and I have been making invitations to our parents for our student led conference. We were learning how to write invitations with useful information. 

FIrst we had needed to claim a slide, because they were all on one big shared slideshow. We then had to put our name at the top, and then go onto this site called Avatar Maker and make an avatar of ourselves, and then put it on the slide. We had to make it small, and then put it in the corner. Then we had to get a textbox, and write what was on the paper that we got given from the teacher. We had to start it with Dear Mum and Dad, and end it with Love/From (Whatever your name is). We also got to decorate the slide, and put a love heart or something on it. 

I found it tricky to catch up to everyone, because I had been away when they started, but I got help from my friend Camille. It was super fun to decorate it, and I enjoyed choosing the colour for the background. Next time though I think I would change how I wrote it, because I would have put Love Leyla instead of From Leyla. Thanks for looking at my blog. 

Here is a screenshot of my slide:

My Favorite Sport

 Today we had our cybersmart teacher in and she taught us how to put audio on our slides by using Mote. We had to make a slideshow about our favorite sport. I enjoyed putting my voice onto the slides. I found it tricky to write about my favorite sport. Next time I think I'd change the background of my slides.
