Introducing my Avatar - Cassius

Photo to come see project here.

Avatar by Mona


Room 19 have been creating Avatar using Cartoonify. The first avatar is one that represents themselves. They will introduce themselves using text in a speak bubble. Mona has made a good start to this. She has created a suitable avatar and inserted it into her google slide. She has created a speech bubble using the callouts from the shape tools. Next she will need to tell us a bit about herself. Like what is her favourite sport. Does she have any hobbies? How many people in her family? Does she have pets? 

What type of information would Mona not share on this slide?
What information is ok to share?
Who will see this slide? 
How can you share your learning?

Digital Art with Room 17


Room 20 - Google CS First - Reflections




Room 20 are Year 6 students and this seems to be a good fit level however I could also use this for lower age groups. The feedback has been good so far. Most students are enjoying the projects even if they find them challenging at times. Many students have completed the first two activities some are flying ahead. We talked today about pacing. We should be aiming for an activity per session. This would make most students behind at this stage. However they are the first group and it does reflect their level of independence as much as the material of the course. I can see it will be necessary for me to complete the course as a student to get a better understanding of the material covered. However overall it looks to me like an excellent program. We are currently doing the Storytelling module and I would be keen to try the others. I have told the students if they finish before the end of the term they can choose to do their own project  or another module.
