Student Toolkits 2019

Talofa lava everyone! I am back!!!

At the beginning of Term 2, one of the senior syndicate teachers, Miss Daly picked 24 Year 5 and 6 students to go to Student Toolkits. Year 5 and 6 students from all of the Ako Hiko schools were getting picked to go to Student Toolkits. This year, Hay Park School was hosting Student Toolkits so it was happening there. All of the Ako Hiko schools were doing this to share their learning with the other schools. This way, all of the Ako Hiko schools were learn new things. The actual student toolkits was happening on the 28th of May 2019.

Miss Daly paired everyone up in the Student Toolkits group. I was put with Ari. Between the pairs, everyone had to make a presentation on showing how to use something that we have learnt about. We could either show people how to make an animation using Google Slides or you could show people how to use Chrome Music Lab. Me and Ari chose to do a presentation on how to make a Google Animation. It took us a couple of weeks and then Miss Daly checked all of the presentation and chose two pairs to be presenters at the Student Toolkits. A presenter would show others how to make or use something using their presentation. Miss Daly had checked everyones' work and had made her choice. She picked Noah and Toby because Toby had done it the year before so he knew what to do. Toby and Noah had picked to do animations and Miss Daly wanted one pair of presenters to do Chrome Music Lab and another to do Google Animations. The other pair of presenters were........
Me and Ari!!!
Though, Toby and Noah had done animations and so had we?! So, Miss Daly asked us to do a new presentation. But on Chrome Music Lab. So me and Ari got to work.

A day before Student Toolkits, our slide was ready. On Student Toolkits day, we all got transported by car to Hay Park School. My first session was Sphero Heroes. Spheros are little robotic balls that you can control.

It was Christ the King school showing us how to use a Sphero. We controlled the Sphero using an ipad. It was so cool!!

The next session was me and Ari as presenters. I felt nervous presenting but it was also very exciting. Here are some photos of me and Ari presenting:

And my last session was Droning High. There was only 3 drones so everyone got into a group of 3 and each group had to take turns on playing with the drone. The people that were waiting, played with Spheros. Unfortunately, my group didn't get a turn with the drones because the propeller  on the drone we were about to use was broken. Though, I got to finish some things.
Here are some other photos from the day:
