This week Stage 3 students were introduced to better search techniques to use when they are searching the internet for information.
Below is a You Tube clip that mentions a number of the strategies we used this week.
Why not watch it and then practise your searching techniques online?
Calling all Kindergarten AllStars – here is a video made especially for you by our Stage 3 students.
It will help you remember how to be safe online.
A big “Thank you” to Angelina, Erin and Rifa for making this video 🙂

We are well on the way in our Digital Citizen Project this week. All groups are busy planning exactly what they will use in their presentations.
Now …
it gets CREATIVE!
Each group is making sure that their project is attention grabbing, different and special.
Some groups are using photos, animations, movies, stories, cartoons and puppets to make their plan interesting and applicable to the age group who will be their audience.
Great work – keep on thinking 🙂
Any questions that need clearing up? Ask them in the comments section below.

Stage 3 students are exploring what it means to be positive digital citizens.
We have linked into our school “Shine Guide” to help us see that being a positive citizen on-line is not so different to being a positive citizen off-line!
We are still finding out about all of the different ways that we can be positive and safe on-line; and later we will be making a plan or poster or presentation about what we can do to make sure that we are positive digital citizens.
