Summer Learning Journey Week 3 Day 1

Ki Ora Everyone for the next few weeks I will be posting blog posts continuously for something that is called the Summer Learning Journey. Today I am doing Week 3 Day 1. I will always put the links under this blurb so that you can go to the sites I had.

Activity 1.The World Wide Web
You may not have heard of Tim Berners-Lee but this man completely changed the world for us when he invented the World Wide Web (otherwise known as the ‘www’). All of the information on the internet is stored and accessed on the web. Tim BL, as he is known, also created the first-ever website. We all spend a lot of time looking at websites, don’t we? One of my favorite websites is the Te Ara site. I use it when I am creating lessons for students or working on assignments for school. Are there websites that are particularly helpful for your learning?


Activity 2. Influencers 
YouTube is a video-sharing website, where people can watch, create, share and comment on videos (a bit like when you Learn, Create and Share at school). YouTube was created in 2005 by three men - Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim who later sold it to Google for $1.65 billion dollars! Did you know that anyone can have their own YouTube channel? People who create videos and post them on YouTube are called ‘YouTubers’. Youtubers post videos on a huge range of topics from music to make-up, fitness to cooking, etc. Most YouTubers create their own Youtube channel. People can subscribe to their channels and follow their videos. Do you watch or subscribe to any YouTube channels? If so, who are your favorite YouTubers? In New Zealand, there are many Youtubers, including Kiwi beauty YouTuber Miria Flavell and guitar guru, Nat Pua.
I would create a Reacting page because you can react to anything on it. 

My description would go like this 
Hey everyone welcome to the channel my name is Nici and each day I react to something new. I hope you enjoy these videos if you do please share them with your friends. 
Bouns Activity.Apple vs Microsoft
Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are two big names in the field of digital technology. Bill Gates is the founder of Microsoft while Steve Jobs was a co-founder of Apple. Both men are very creative and inventive. In fact, Steve Jobs invented the Apple computer, iPod, iPhone, and iPad. Sadly, he passed away in 2011.Bill Gates, on the other hand, invented Microsoft software, like Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office. He is now one of the richest people in the world, and with his wife, Melinda, has created a charity called The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.Both men worked in the same field (digital technology) and were seen as competitors or rivals. They are not the only rivals in the world. In fact, some of the most famous rivalries occur between sports teams. One example is the rivalry between the All Blacks and the Wallabies rugby teams.

  1. HI Nici!
    Great to read about your three activities, I like how throughout all of them you have laid your work out in an easy to read way :)

    Great choices, which one of these rivals do you know the most about? Who do you think is the closest in ability?

    Awesome pictures! They really show these three rivals in action against each other. Great work!

    Next time you could add a bit of text saying why they were rivals. :)

    Keep up the great work
