Digital Leader Network

On Monday, 4 of us got an oppurtunity to interview candidates for the job of computer science to work here next year when we start digital studies. I can’t discuss outcomes of what we did, or even how the teachers responded, but I can certainly say what we did.

The interviews covered the space of 2 lessons (2 hours) for 3 individal candidates. The candidates were asked questions which we think would relate to what we want the teacher to be like, and how the can be better than the current ICT teachers. You can view all our questions at https://jhnccdls.titanpad.com/3

The interviews went really well, and all of the candidates were great!

The 4 digital leaders who got this opportunity were:

Tom Farrow

Dylan Lewis

Luke WIlliams

Liam Taylor

We have practice scratch in digital leaders. I would want to have a ghost chase game to make on scratch. We been working on scratch Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.  I really enjoyed digital leaders. I worked with miss Randell to help her.

I love doing digital leaders recently we have been doing scratch it has been so much fun and on the 15th of may 2013 Brunswick digital leaders were in a staff meeting and there were lots of different levels it was EPIC!!!.  It is so good if you like making games because you have to make them before you play them. All the scratch Levels are so fun. The best scratch game is angry birds because it is a nice short game but it is quite difficult because it involves using degrees.

I liked teaching miss pain and other teachers.  I teached miss pain  the angry bird game on scratch.  Theres all different levels 1 up to 3, when you get to level 4 you make your own. We practiced on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.  Scratch training really helped the teachers, it was really fun.  The teachers enjoyed it and so did I.

Today we presented our first cyber safety assembly to year 7!
The presentation was made by Haiku Deck, my new personal favourite app. As the students gathered, the digital leaders waited axiously to get started for their presentation.

Mr Chatterly (Head of year 7) handed over to the presenters. The presentation went perfectly as planned. We had a couple of technical hitches as they were gathering, but I solved those with a dock connector. I’m really happy with how the presentation went, and can’t wait for them to present it to the other year groups.

I will post again sometime this week with a video from a different year group, for now, here’s the haiku deck which we used: http://www.haikudeck.com/p/bQxb9j6Obe/cyber-safety
