Think Before You Post

Learning about the top ten things to think about before we post online is extremely important, especially because we will be launching our social media campaigns this quarter.  Flocabulary.com's informative rap gave us great insight into how what we post cannot only impact ourselves but others too for a long time.  Using Storyboardthat.com, we shared digital citizenship tips.  We hope you enjoy our samples below:

A Creative Bunch

We uploaded our ScratchJr. animations that illustrate our creative inventions.  This was a fun brainstorming activity.  We hope you enjoy!

Making inventions with Scratch Jr.

We are making inventions with Scratch Jr today in technology. This is our second day working on it, and it has been fun. It is a little tricky because sometimes the app does not work. It is fun because we get to express our ideas and then share them with the class. We are having lots of fun inventing our creative ideas today.

Inventing with ScratchJr.

Today is our first technology class of the year. We are making inventions with an app called Scratch Jr. Once we make our invention on the app, we will have our creative juices flowing and be able to brainstorm an invention that we may actually want to make a prototype of in order to sell. We can choose from many characters called Sprites and even more backgrounds. We can choose to make our invention whatever we want it to be. This is going to be a very fun project!

Prototyping by Jessie

Today in class we are making our inventions that we made in technology. We are building our inventions with sticks,card board,boxes,cotton balls,glue,and markers. We are all making our own inventions.What's cool about that is maybe one day their invention will be out to the world. In class we predicted how much the invention would cost by creating a google spreadsheet, we used the Doodle Buddy app to help us sketch our pictures, we made bar graphs with infographics to make our invention stand out to people. What was fun to me was making our own websites through Weebly. This was a very fun project!

Infographics

For the past week we have been using the website piktochart.com to continue growing our business on social media.  On this website we can explain our product by creating infographics.  Piktochart is a good tool so that your reader does not get overwhelmed with information. Infographics allow us to display our success with sales. We will share our infographic on Weebly by embedding the html code into our Weebly websites.  We want to reach our audience in as many ways as we can.
