My Hour of Code Certificate

I am planning a teacher Toolkit for next week and trialled activity on the website here. It was easy when I had directions about what to do. However, when I had free choice as to what to do, it was harder for me. I had to use a lot of trial and error, eg writing the code and testing by running the script and then continuously modifying and testing. This did not come easy to me and I'm sure that some teachers and students will be much quicker at coding than me.

Quality Blog Commenting

Today I leant how to write a comment on a blog and then make it a better comment by using our class padlet ideas. 

I liked doing because it was fun looking at Room 10's blog and then writing a really quality comment. 

Now, I hope that I get a reply to my comment. I will wait and see....

I posted this as an example to a class that I was facilitating in of a piece of finished work with an embedded DLO and a short reflection.

Replying to Comments

Today in class we learnt about how to make good replies to blog comments. "Positive, thoughtful and helpful" are the buzz words here.

This is an example sentence I gave students to put under their DLO, "I found this interesting because it will help me write good replies when I receive comments on my blog".

In modelling this, I was also reinforcing with students how to embed a slide presentation on their blog.
