SHARE! Whanau netbook training

As part of Manaiakalani Education Trust, Glenbrae school supports tamariki and whānau to learn how to use their chromebooks in the best possible way. We call this our Kawa of Care and includes everything from Looking after the device, being Cybersmart, and home learning. 

Last night we invited whānau to join us to learn about the Kawa of Care so that our new chromebook learners can begin to take their devices home. By taking their device home they can continue their learning journeys, anywhere and anytime! 

It was an absolute delight to see our talented tamariki, showing their whānau through our learning site, this class blog and their own personal blogs. Mothers, fathers, grandfathers all took part in using their children's chromebooks and got to practicing writing thoughtful, positive and helpful comments on their blogs. 

It was awesome for our fantastic Room 7 learners to share their learning with their families. They were very proud of their work and I was very proud of them for leading the learning in the way that they were sharing with their whānau!

Well done tamariki, and thank you to the wonderful family members who came along. We couldn't do this without you! 

Exploring our Digital Footprint

Today Room 7 learned about making a positive digital footprint.
We talked about all the things we should keep private when online, and how we shouldn't share personal information about ourselves or others on the world wide web. 


We then talked about how information on the web can travel fast. So we wrote this message, and shared it on Mrs Parker's Google+ account. After 3 hours, we already have 14 shares from all around the world. Stay tuned to find out what we do with the information! 
If you read this, be sure to share the google post for us.
