Creating a Blog Profile

Please access the Cybersmart Site link first and use the information and recommendations to guide your thinking. Consider how best to prepare and engage your learners. For navigation purposes the examples below have been organised and shared using individual Google Slide decks. Typically on a learning site, slides would be curated in a single deck. Each week new learning is located on the first slide so current learning displays when the published slide deck is clicked. A feature of Slides is the ability to generate a URL that publishes the slide deck to the web and displays in full screen on the iPad rather than embedding the slide deck. How to set up a Slide Deck

Learners are able to:

  • share information they and their whānau would be proud of.

  • begin to make choices about the information they are sharing about themselves online

  • make connections between the information they share about themselves and their digital footprint

We are learning to create a positive digital footprint

Learners are beginning to connect with and understand that the information we are sharing is public, anyone who visits our blog can see this information.

Connect again with examples of blog profiles that you or your learners have identified. What information are learners sharing in their profile?

What can we infer about these learners based on the information they are sharing on their blogs? Including their profile picture.

Creating a Blog Profile

Learners create an EE project sharing information about them as learners.

Explain Everything:

  • How to take a profile picture of themselves with the iPad camera.

  • Demonstrate via the Apple TV how they need to look at the camera rather than themselves. Tips for taking a profile picture.

  • Connect again with Kawa of Care i.e. looking after their iPad as they move around the room to take pictures of their learning.

  • Use the record tool on each slide and read and record from their text box.

  • Use the record tool to record themselves talking about the learning they have shared.

  • Learners can delete the teacher soundbites, upload their project as a video to Google Drive and share on class or individual blogs.
