Week 7: #kidsedchat

Whoa! We have had our first bite of the #kidsedchat. It was fabulous and my small group had a fantastic time.

"It was fun talking to other students' ......... "I liked talking to people about healthy eating"
We are looking forward to next weeks chat & introducing the concept to the rest of our class.  I enjoyed seeing my group of learners responding to the thinking of their peers and being enthusiastic about writing/microblogging.
AND
the rest of the class demonstrated their journey towards self agency by staying focused on their learning.
Check out the tweets!!!

Week 7: Fabulous learning

Check out Mekura's fabulous #100wcweek25

The green sewage pipe

Walt.:To use adjectives to describe objects 
SC:I can use 3 adjectives to describe objects.
One day I  was swimming in Lake Taupo.When I jumped of the wharf I felt something scrape the bottom of my foot.But I didn't care because I just wanted to swim.I swam along the rips of the big waves. Then suddenly feel me getting sucked into this yuck mossy ugly green pipe. I carefully tried not to get myself hurt but the current was too strong I just couldn't get myself out of here.I just let the current take me.Lucky the water was low enough for me to breath.When I got free I saw this beautiful white geared horse.
The End 



Week 7: Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter - getting ready for Kidsedchatnz

WHAT:
Rural School Global Outlook.  We are going to jump into the Twitter for Education this week.  It was a bit messy as Twitter is blocked so we had 10 devices hot-spotting off my mobile phone.  Goal is to get more than 14 devices on for Wednesday's chat.



SO WHAT:
Student insight

"we have to try & use 140 characters" 
"it won't post because I have -186"
"I can do another post because I have too many characters"

we discovered was that we have to be straight to the point.
#kidsedchat here we come!

NOW WHAT:
We are going to try & make our comments straight to the point.  #Kidsedchat here we come!
