France DLO

 

In the first week of Term 4 Room 9 and 10 got a surprise parcel sent to us.  Nobody knew what it was about so we opened it up! There were letters from children all around the world. We got into partners of 2 and read the letter. My buddy and I got a letter from France. We learnt about what they do at school and completed a worksheet about it. Once we finished that we had to make a slide teaching other people about the country. 

I learnt how to use audio recorder and how to insert it on a slide. Audio recorder help the reader if they don't know the word.  I also learnt about a DLO (Digital learning object) and how they can teach other people about things. I learnt how to insert a link onto an image. To do that, you have to find a page, and you need to copy the URL link at the top. Then you use the paper clip and copy and paste it.

I found it easy to use the Voice Recorder because it was really simple, and only had Two buttons, which were start and stop. I also found it easy to insert images because I already know how to do that. 

At first I found it challenging to insert a link onto an image because I didn't know how to, but then the teachers showed us and it made it a lot less challenging. Another thing I found challenging was trying to fit everything into the slide because there was a lot of information.

I really enjoyed using the audio because it was fun to explore the new app! I also enjoyed learning about Bastille Day which is France's National day. 

I was learning to be a collaborator, because I had to work with a buddy. To be a collaborator, I need to do my fair share, and contribute ideas and suggestions to the group. 

Next time I might add more detail to my slides and try and add more interesting facts about France. I would definitely like to do this with a different country!
