Photoshop!

 Today we had to create our own postcard using our prior Photoshop knowledge. I was buddies with Elenor and she had to make a postcard for a place I want to go making me jealous or convinced about the place and vice versa. She had photo shopped herself into Greece and I photo shopped myself into the Maldives. Here are the results:

We won a Tesla!

 Today in Manaiakalni, we had to create our own fake image or video to trick people online. Obviously, we didn't actually post them on social media. My buddy was Chanelle, and we photo shopped ourselves onto a Tesla that we "won" from David Dobrick. I found this task quite easy as it was pretty straight forward and clear to understand. Here are the results:

Mad Media!

 For today's task, we had to create some sort of poster describing what kinds of media there is and as a class we made a shared definition of what media is. Basically, everyone in our class put down social media and games to define media. But media can be other things like newspapers, documentaries, the news, and others. Anyway, here is what Sarah, Emma, and I made:

Snazzy Sarah

 Over four weeks, we went to the tonui collab to do collaborative challenges and create our own game. I made a game about a girl called Sarah. And since it is a human, you only get one life. 

I found it hard to find some blocks and do the coding because I am not that smart in that area. I also found it quite easy to make my tile map and create a theme and concept. The person who helped us make these games was a person called Mac. He was very kind and holds a world record for the biggest score on flappy bird ever recorded. Some advice for you if you end up making your own game, listen to your teachers and pay attention. Otherwise, you will struggle a lot. If you land on the water or lava, you die. A game name I came up with originally was You only live once, but I decided I didn't like it. I felt like sharing that. Click on the picture to play my awesome game.

Game from Scratch!

Today Mr Fourie taught us how to remix our own game on scratch. Someone from Boys high made one based on Maui so we used his coding to make our own game. I found it quite hard to upload my character because when I tried to put a different character the code didn't apply properly. It was reasonably easy to change the character and background. We are using a learning platform called Tipu, it helps us to learn basic maori and a kind of concept I guess. Mr Huhu's friends are the creators and they also were kind enough to send us complimentary playing cards to practise our knowledge!

Copyright Collage!

We were learning about copyrighting. We need to be careful when using images online because you get get hug fines for taking things you're not supposed to. But it could be on accident, you maybe didn't filter your google search and used a picture of a dog for your vet clinic. Then you were confused when they gave you that 3 thousand dollar fine. Anyway, this is my collage of images that are safe to use. Try and guess what they mean.

Terrific Tipu

For a Manaikalni challenge we made videos with sentences from our maori language platform, Tipu. Here is Chanelle and I's video.
