The Beebot's Adventure...

Here is the finished documentary...



Congratulation in getting 1st Place in Interface Documentary Category Year 1 to 3, MADE AWARDS 2018!




The Pass-Bot Advert...

The challenge for the Digi Group was to teach children some important facts about creating a 'strong' password and how to protect your password.  They only had 45 seconds to do this!

What part did you enjoy the most?

The Pass-Bot Filming...

After many hours of research, planning, creating all the artworks it was time for filming.  It was all hands on deck with the realization you could be sniffing your buddy's armpits for a few minutes...

The students organised all the props and got the robots ready for the set.  The most important thing was to check the storyboard to make sure each robot had the right pair of underpants on!  It took a couple of days to film The Pass-Bot and about four days to edit and record the voices.

The Pass-Bot Artworks...

After the storyboard had been drafted it was time for the Digi Group to start designing the robots for the backdrops.  They used a collage technique to add layers and texturize the robots, backdrops, and props.

We had some very skilled students designing props. Zoe created the washing machine.  Joanna and Milly had the idea to re-use an old Macbook and paint this for the prop in the advert.  Logan sketched the iBot phone and Mikayla then made this prop.

There was a lot of gluing in the library space and an aroma of PVA glue!








Planning the Pass-Bot...

In Term 2 a group of children from Tangaroa attended the Digi Awards workshop.  During the workshop, they listed all the things they could explore based on our school theme of 'Identity.'  This ranged from ideas about our school values to how we look after our digital identity.  After a lot of discussions and further exploration, it was decided the group would explore how to be cybersmart.

To check they were on the right track they surveyed groups of children from each studio.  I created a google site that had relevant information for the students to explore and they used docs to share their ideas.

During the planning stage, they came up with three possible adverts.  One about how to make a 'strong' passwords, one about your digital footprint and one advert to promote your wellbeing if you are a gamer.

Below are some of the ideas the students had about their password ad.  Many of them didn't make it to the final storyboard and a lot did!

Slicing and dicing each group's storyboard to come up with one draft storyboard...
The Digi Group thought we could use walking fingers...but then how would be stick underpants on?

Digital Footprint advert...

After completing their survey they found out a lot of students at Rāwhiti School were on Instagram and some younger students didn't know how to look after their digital footprint.

This was the research that inspired the second advert the Digi Group made about our digital footprint. They watched the video's from the Manaiakalani site about being Cybersmart.  I made a google site that had links for the Digi Group (Year 7 & 8 students) to carry out some research.

At the start none of the group knew what it meant to keep your digital footprint 'clean' and the impact this could have for their future.

This advert was filmed down at New Brighton Beach - we took a photo near the shipwrecked boat!

MADE AWARDS 2017 - Can't Stop the Feeling...

Congratulations to all of the children involved in the Music Video - Can't Stop the Feeling.  It was placed 2nd in the MADE AWARDS, Music Video Category, Year's 5 & 6.



MADE AWARDS....

A few weeks ago Nabraska and I flew up to Tauranga to represent our class at the MADE AWARDS. We were so nervous that I was shaking!  We saw lots of children at the awards.  

It was so exciting because I'd never been there before.  We got first place in the Powerco Year 4-6, Music Video category and we got two hobbit books.  These will go into the school library.  Then we won the Weta Workshop Supreme Award, we were so excited!  

I was really nervous going up on stage!
