My netbook recount by Yvette

• I learnt how to embed/copy and paste my presentations, flipping e book etc… on to my blog by myself. I learnt how to embed a presentation on to my blog.  To embed a presentation I needed to go to the word file and click on publish to the web. Then a mini document would pop up on to the page. When that happened I needed to find  the word “presentation size” and make the size small.

Then I needed to find the word “embed code” and embed the code. To embed the code I needed to highlight the numbers and words in the box underneath the “embed code” and press ctrl c. Then I needed to go on to my blog and click on html. Then I clicked on ctrl v to embed the code. After that I needed to click on publish and my presentation was successfully published on to my blog.

I could also do the same things with a flipping ebook, google document, drawing and much more. Embedding my work on to my blog helps my learning by sharing my work with the world. If people spot a mistake or they see that I haven’t put much info they could just write a comment and wait for my reply. When I have read their feedback it could help me learn from my mistakes and when I do another presentation or flipping e book I could use people’s feedback to make my work even more fabulous. I had also done this at home so my learning is not just in school it carries on at home.

• I have learnt how to use fotor.com and how to create a flipping ebook by Lavinia. Lavinia showed me how to upload photos and decorate the template with the photos inside. I needed to go on fotor.com and pick a template. To upload photos I needed to take screenshots of photos from an album.

• Then I needed to go back onto my fotor collage. Then I needed to click on photos and pick the photo I screenshotted. After I had chosen a photo and pressed done or ok it will come on at the side. Then I needed to drag and drop the photo I had chosen on to the collage. When you have done that you can britten the photo and decorate it.

When I had finished Lavinia showed me how to share my collage with Miss Paton. I needed to take a screenshot of my college and go on to my email. From there I needed to click on compose and type in Joy Paton to share it with her. Then I needed to take the screenshot of my collage and put it under the box under Miss Patons name. After that I needed to put my name under the collage and my buddies name. There Miss Paton can access our collage and print it out.

I believe it is a good idea for our teachers to print our work out because people in our class can see our beautiful artwork and they can also critique it. If people see that there is only pictures and no added colours or features they might think it is boring. If they do think that they could tell you and the next time you do a collage you could remember their feedback and use it to help you make your collage more better.

My wonderful teacher Miss Paton showed me how upload videos and pictures on to my popplet. To upload videos on my popplet I needed to go on to popplet.com and sighn in. Then I wrote down all the things you can do at the Tamaki River or around the Tamaki River. When I had finished I wanted to upload a video of the Tamaki River. I needed to look down at one of my popplets and click on the tiny little tab at the bottom right hand of the square and click on upload things.

Their, I needed to click on upload things. After I had done that a long tab came up. I needed to click on the picture that looked said youtube. A big square popped up on my screen. That was youtube. Then I needed to type in Tamaki River at the top right corner and a whole bunch of Tamaki River videos will come up. I picked  a few videos because they were awesome. Then after I chose a video I wanted I needed to upload it and press ok. Their my video would be uploaded on to my popplet.

I believe it is good to have video’s of the Tamaki River because people could get a better idea of the Tamaki River if they haven’t seen it and if they don’t know what windsurfing is they could look at one of my videos and they could see a person windsurfing. It is also good to upload your work onto your blog to show the whole world your progress and work and they could give you feedback. It is good for people to give you feedback because you can look back at your feedback and remember to use that in your popplet the next time you do it.
