Using the camera app on our iPads

This week in Ruaumoko we had Amie visit for more Cybersmart learning.  We have been learning about how to look after our iPads.

Before we got started, we checked our blog to see if anyone had visited.  We didn't have any new comments.  We visited our buddy blogs next and saw that Papatūānuku hub had replied to us.  They are excited about seeing our seed drawings and asked us to tell them more about our Ruaumoko class name.  It was fun replying to our blogging buddies.  We are enjoying getting to know them.

Next we started our iPad learning for the week.  We are learning about how to use the camera icon to take photos on our iPad.  We had to carefully take just one photo of something yellow.  If it was blurry, we had to delete it and try again.  We rested our iPad against our knees and waited for the yellow square to show that our yellow teddy was in focus before tapping the shutter button.  We had to remember to just TAP and not PRESS or we got lots of pictures.  We only wanted to take one.

Later, we found more yellow things to take photos of.  We got very good at taking photos and deleting the ones we didn't need.

When we carried our iPads, we remembered to practice Hugging and Holding them.

We took photos of just 1 yellow teddy

We held our iPads steady

What do you like taking photos of?

Hugging and Holding our iPads

We are very excited in Ruaumoko today because we get to start our learning about our iPads.

We have been thinking about how we look after our pets.  One thing we do is to carry our pets safely.

Our iPads need to be carried safely too.  We carry them by using the Hug and Hold.

Here are some photos of us hugging and holding our iPads.
