Do you play online Games? Do you have any rules at home about playing them? Do you think carefully about what happens online when you are playing games?

These are all questions we thought about today in our Cybersmart lesson. We watched a video about playing games online and about the strategies the players used when something went wrong or they didn’t like what was happening. What would you do if something went wrong in a game?

We made a list:

• block them
• report them to the website owner
• tell our parents
• tell our teacher
• take a screenshot
• email the screenshot to our parents or our teacher
• check the privacy settings on the game

We created a video about how we can level up our online safety. We will need to complete these next week.

Here is Sam’s work so far…

Today we were talking about how to edit images online to change them. We talked about protecting our online identity by editing images of ourselves. We used Lunapic to make a collage of a selfie. We explored all the different styles, took a screenshot and inserted it onto our slides.

Here is some of our mahi…

Today in our Cybersmart lesson we were looking at images and deciding if they were real or fake.

Then we created a fake animal ourselves by combining 2 animals together. We removed backgrounds and used the magic eraser so we only had the parts we needed. We added a background so it looked real.

Then we made an image of an animal in a place where you wouldn’t usually wouldn’t see them. Some of us used a short video and we could remove the background on this as well. Some of us used custom animation to make a still image move.

Here is Lillie-Rose’s animal…

Cheryl What is Media? video

Today in our Cybersmart lesson we were thinking about Media, what it is, where we see it and what we use.

Then we used Canva and created a video about the media we use. We had to search for icons or images. We added them and thought about animating them so they move and catch our eye. Some of use inserted a photo of us and turned it into a silhouette by adjusting the brightness and contrast. We added a background that fits and doesn’t take over the design.

We had to rename our project and share it into a folder so our teacher can see our work.

We will complete these next week by adding audio then downloading it and posting it on our blog.

Here is Nemani’s mahi so far…

Today in our Cybersmart lesson we animated our names in Canva

We used a presentation and searched elements to find letters of our name so we could spell it. We also learned how to rename our project and to share it into a folder so our teachers could see our mahi as we work on it.

We uploaded a photo of ourselves and removed the background in the image and made sure our first frame was exactly how we wanted it.. Then we duplicated frame #1. On the 2nd frame we rearranged the elements and mixed them up. Then we duplicated frame 1 again and made sure it was 3rd. We added transitions to the frames and used “Match & Move” which makes the elements seem to glide over the screen.

This mahi showed how powerful duplicating is so we didn’t have to remake anything.

Here is some of our mahi.
