Fueling motivation…

Following their first badge, given back in December to all my #Digikidz in the primary classes, now as promised I can release the next three badges which will be assigned to three students per class.

#Creativity will be given out to students who have shown innovative ways of learning and performing.

#AskMe will be given out to students who have attained a high level of understanding and can take on a mentoring role in class.

#ICan will be given out to students who have shown improvement and are trying their best to reach their full potential.

Let’s see who this month’s awardees are going to be…..

Also, a special badge was created for all the students who attend our #Digikidz+ after school club on a Friday. This club engages students to use, apply and explore technology in an educational setting through a STEM approach. So far they managed to code a story, virtually visit the moon through VR headsets and furthermore understand the mechanism behind a solar eclipse. Next week…. Visiting the pyramids and stepping into the shoes of an architect… Tools to be used? …We cannot spoil the surprise for our #Digikidz+ 😊

Take care Ms Gaby

Collaborative Project – Sr 2B & 2A

Today I want to share some of our student’s work carried out during the Christmas holidays. This was done in collaboration using One Note as their primary tool in creating one final presentation based on their assigned task. Life without Wi-Fi. 

Through research and collaboration, and through the use of available tools all groups managed to create a very formative and engaging presentation. Well done to all!!

Life without Wi-Fi

Argentina, only a call away…

https://photos.app.goo.gl/jfZBFArgu8efWmrb2

Not a bad start for the Senior 4s…. Traveling to Argentina through a mystery Skype call, the students applied their geographical skills, using Google maps as their primary tool to find the exact location of our caller. Asking yes or no questions they managed to guess the location in less than ten minutes. This was followed by a formative presentation also followed by an on line quiz lead by Ms Maria herself. 

Great experience for our students to explore the outside world beyond the four classroom walls. 

Who knows what out next destination is going to be?

Ms Gaby
