Virtual Shopping!

I got one thing wrong, it's not next day delivery, it's there when you get home!

Will this be normal or old school in 100 years?



Key questions that might spark some ideas for your 'new possibilities' brainstorm. 

In 100 years how will we...

Shop
Take photos/videos
Farm
Communicate
Travel - small and large distances
Cook
Police
Watch entertainment
Get to school (if we even have schools!)- This would be an interesting idea to explore, what will education look like in 100 years. Will technology take over the role of a teacher? 
What will I do?!

EXPLORE AND DISCOVER

Your challenge is to search the internet for a video or article related to our new UOI!

You will need to be able to explain/justify how your article/video connects to our UOI. It could be connected to any part of our UOI; central idea, LOI, key concepts, attitudes, learner profiles or skills.

You will need to type up your explanation on a doc, and then post it on your blog.

Here is my example.

This video is connected to the line of inquiry: Why people explore.

This video is about James Cameron's DeepSea Challenge. James Cameron is a film director, however he has developed a deep curiosity for the exploring the depths of our sea. In an attempt to discover what lies at the bottom of the world's deepest trench- the Mariana Trench, he has gathered together leading experts in their fields to create and develop a submarine that can withstand the journey to bottom of the ocean, whilst keeping the humans inside safe. To do this they also had to explore new technologies as no one had created a submarine of this kind before. To do this they had to test and explore using different materials to discover what would be able to cope with he extreme pressures of the deep ocean.

James Cameron has shown independence in leading this pioneering expedition to the bottom of the sea. This isn't the first time James Cameron has explored the unknown, he also lead an expedition to the ship wreck of the Titanic to discover what was left of the famous ship.

To find out what he discovered at the bottom of the Mariana trench, we will have to watch his documentary!

Science Fair

For those of you who are involved in the Science Fair this year, here is the student handbook. It might be a good idea to sit down with a parent/caregiver and go through it together. Have fun!

Summative Task

Hey Team,

I know you will be busy this weekend working away on your summative tasks, so
I thought it might be helpful for you to have a look at Room 9's blog. They have
completed a similar summative; you might feel inspired by their work, it might help focus
your summative, or you might find a useful resource in amongst their research.

Take notice of how they have organised their information, the type of information they
have used to inform their audience and support their action, and the steps they took to take action.

http://room9bnms2016.blogspot.co.nz/2016/05/sharing-planet-summative-assessment.html

Remember the summative task is due this Wednesday. I'm excited to see what you have all come up with.

Have fun!

Consumer Power!!!

As consumers of products, we hold a lot of power! Remember, customers = $$$

Tonight I had to make a decision between environmentally friendly washing powder and washing powder that would pollute our water ways.

So I chose to send a message to the big companies with my money, we want products that are kind to our earth!! Check out the awesome product below, and the best part... it was fairly cheap. ☺

 Click here for all the details of the first tasks!

Add your avatar and about me to the slide below

Student Blogging Challenge 2016!

http://studentchallenge.edublogs.org/

What’s this challenge about?

- The basics of the challenge

The challenge is run twice a year beginning March and October for a 10 week period each time.

It is organized by Miss Sue Wyatt (@tasteach) and help is given by Mrs Sue Waters and her team at Edublogs.

There are three separate sections:
- Educators who would like to mentor a group of students
- Teachers who have a class blog who want to connect with other classes globally
- Individual students who have their own personal blog and want to connect globally with other students

More Details:

- Students, mentors and classes taking part can add a special challenge badge to their blog.

- A twitter hashtag created each year #16stubc

- All blogs must be set to open to the world – the reader doesn’t need a password to leave a comment etc

The Activities Each Week:

- Each week a post is published with a list of activities for students to choose from. You only need to complete one activity each week, but if you want to do more you can.

Examples from previous years

About me – Creating their avatar and about me page so visitors get to know them – includes being digital citizenship and cybersafety

Let’s comment – Teaching what makes a quality comment, how to connect through commenting and again cybersafety and digital citizenship

Using images – Teaches about using creative commons images, giving attribution for images, videos etc, tools for using images in posts

The other weeks of the challenge are based around a topic eg food, games, government, history, maths, nature etc

The final post for the challenge is an evaluation and audit of what they have done over the 10 week period of the challenge.
