LOCKDOWN SMACKDOWN

Last week all the students in Te Waka Ako participated in a digital lockdown smackdown. This a way of sharing knowledge and skills with many people in a short length of time.


In pairs students had to create a slide describing a digital app, website or activity that they had used over the lockdown period.


Students then had 2 minutes to stand up and to share their slide with the syndicate. Examples and links to relevant sites or documents were added so students could go back into the slideshow in sandpit time to checkout anything they were interested in from the sharing.

Many had nerves standing up the front but the quality of the slides was high and we all saw new ideas or skills presented. Congratulations to all the participants.
General Feedback for the future is to speak louder and make sure each person knows what they will say or talk about.

  1. Kia Ora Te Waka Ako,
    You have all done some amazing work. It's great seeing the different ways and things you did during lockdown. I know it is a bit scary getting up and talking in front of people. I still get a bit anxious standing up in front of groups of people. You should all be proud of giving it a go.
    Must be a good feeling being back at school.
    Take care and stay safe.

    You have shared some great apps and websites. We really enjoyed watching your creative slides. During Lockdown, we also went on some of the same websites as you such as Typing Club, Hour of Code, Minecraft, Scratch and a lot of others. Which was your favourite?
    Thank you for sharing your Lockdown Smackdown learning.
