Beginning our year with the ‘Kawa of Care’

Kia Ora, welcome to the first post for the Te Waka Ako syndicate this year. We have had an exciting start to the Term and have been very busy across different learning areas. This year we are a syndicate of three classes, with students across Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6.  We all have access to Chromebooks to support our learning and the beginning of the year is a great time to remind ourselves of the important ways we can look after our devices.  To start this process, we worked in collaborative groups to sort statements, deciding which ideas are relevant ways to look after our Chromebook.

Once we had these ideas organised, our challenge was to create a DLO (Digital Learning Object) poster to remind our classmates and ourselves of the ways we can look after our precious devices. The examples from Hauraki class are shared below in a slideshow that Hauraki shared with the Waikowhai School community during their first assembly of the year. Have a look at what we think. Can you think of any other ways to be Cybersmart and follow the Kawa of Care?  Please leave us a positive, thoughtful and helpful comment! We would love your feedback.

  1. Kia ora Te Waka Ako. I enjoyed looking through your slides. Knowing how to look after your Chromebooks is so important so that they keep working and keep powering your learning. I was so surprised to see how thin a Chromebook’s screen was when I took one apart. That was a good reminder to be very careful when carrying and turning a Chromebook. I look forward to seeing more of your awesome mahi this year!
