Collaboration + Cybersmart in another school Term 1 2018

This teacher had had six months of cybersmart facilitation the previous year and I came along for her second six months in January this year. Initially, she wanted me to  work with students on what is a good blog post because her students were in Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu (cross-cluster blogging) for Term 1. I wrote a few starter sentences to help students make a reflective blog post and looked at their blogs. The teacher showed me that students were writing raps which they were setting to music and rapping aloud. I showed them how to put their raps on a few slides and use animation (on the click) to roll the slides through with the music playing in the background. Added to this, I used screencastify to get a video. I did my own poor attempt and shared it with the class. Some of the raps the students made were really great. I upscaled it by showing them how to add their own created gif, using giphy.com to their first and last slides for a more impressive result. A couple of weeks later, the teachers showed me that the students were using a Powtoon template for a book review and wanted to see how it would look in slides with animation. I read the book, got the template from Powtoon, created a review of the book in Google slides with animation and then put it on the class site for students to see.  Just before the end of term, I created a slides, book review template and also added that to the class site. The DLO's I created for this class are below.
