DFI Week 5 - Devices

This week has been looking at the devices.  First we started with the cybersmart.  I have found that interesting as I know that some teachers think that the kids have done it so that they don't need to do it again.  Wrong!  It needs to be taught all the time.

Rather than being safe we need to empower our learners to be smart.  That's why cybersmart.

Be internet Awesome

We need to make sure we portray the right words in a positive way by elevating the positive.  All the cybersmart curriculum needs to be taught throughout the year.


Cybersmart is a whole school focus so maybe we need to plan as a whole school and timetable that more consistently into our school.  Connect our cybersmart curriculum into our values within our school would be a great idea.

By empowering our students we are creating confident, connected , actively involved life long learners.

Ubiquitous learning makes it accessible for all and cybersmart empowers our learners to harness technology.

This is a great idea to do the Kawa of Care with their students in the class.  I would love to try this.  We will have to make sure that we push the cybersmart during the first term.  I think that each class could do this?

I had forgotten that you can use groups within Hapara so it was a good reminder.  I will be setting up some groups to make my life a bit easier.

Make sure you have the tabs open that you want to use when doing a screencastify. Here is my screencastify about the cybersmart.  Not my best work as a screencastify but I had a go.
