This week in our Cybersmart lesson we were extending our use of Canva.
Canva is an online graphic design platform, used to create graphics, presentations, posters, documents and other visual content.
Today we were creating a video about 3 of our achievements in 2021. We had to include a PiP (picture-in-picture) video of ourselves in the introduction. We added a background, elements and animations. We can also add audio.
This week in our Cybersmart lesson we were coding in Scratch and using our knowledge of 2D shapes. We coded a shape first then we made a spirograph with the shape. Some of us were able to code the background to change colour as well.
Here is Ella's 2D Spirograph. Click the green flag to start.
We have explored the Tract App with the view to becoming an "Edutainer". Click here to find out more about Tract
To start us off we met with Ari Memar, CEO and co-founder of Tract. He lives in USA and he used Zoom to connect with us when we were at school. He showed us around Tract and told us about how he created it and what it is for.
We went over the protocols for video conferencing and made sure our microphones were muted. We were able to ask Ari questions at the end of the video conference.
Tract is an opportunity for us to follow a path of something we are interested in, learn from others and teacher others in a safe environment. Let's get creating!

Hub Takakawe submitted 11 entries into the local Creative Mind Competition. They are all listed below with links to their blogs which have their entry posted there.
Some of us were in teams and collaborated to create wither a local story in Gamefroot or an animation in Google Slides. We like Gamefroot because we could use media that looks like it is from Aotearoa.
