A Beginners Guide to Surfing The Web

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about Smart Surfing on the internet. We had to make a copy of the Smart Surfing slide and then highlight the keywords. On the next slide we had to write what we were going to search.  An example of a keyword search is instead of typing “what do spiders eat” you should type “spider diet”.  The reason for that is because Google has a thing called a spider.  Whenever you type an irrelevant words like what and how the spider will shoot a web at all the websites with the irrelevant word you searched .  Then if type a search with no keywords in it you end up with a lot more answers that are irrelevant to the search you want.  What I found easy was I had to find a website using the keyword searches.  The hardest part was finding the link with the best information.  Do you use keyword searches to make it easier on Google?                   

Insane Pronouncing of Te Reo Moari

 In Te Ngahere we have been learning about pronouncing Te Reo Maori properly.  The website we’re using is called Education Perfect.  We had to record the Maori alphabet, greetings and place names.  I really enjoyed it because I didn’t really know how to pronounce my alphabet correctly.  It’s helping me in Kapa Haka with my pronunciation as well.  Our screencastify had to be at least thirty seconds long.  What I found easy was that I had to listen to the words and get them stuck in my head.  The hardest bit about it was doing my screencastify because I was under pressure and I was worried that I wouldn’t get it right.  Do you know how to pronounce your Maori alphabet, your Maori greetings and your Maori place names?

Magnificent Work That Will Help You Learn About Coastal Seas

 In Te Ngahere we have been learning about coastal seas.  We had to watch a documentary about coastal seas by David Attenborough.  It was quite long and interesting.  We wrote down some interesting facts about what we saw.  An example is Dolphins use mud to trap their prey.  Another great fact is in Kelp Forests Sea Otters and Sheephead Wrasse love to eat Sea Urchins and only the biggest of the wrasses can tackle the black urchins.  Next we had to make a DLO about our facts and what we saw.  I found it hard because I had to write down my facts and see the documentary at the same time.  I found it easy to put my facts together and make a DLO.

Have you ever heard of David Attenborough?
