Cybersmart Trace and Copy 'Hot Dog'

Earlier this week, Mr Goodwin showed us how to do this task in one of our online meetings earlier this week.

This is my Google Drawing of a hot dog. In our Cybersmart lesson we learned to trace using Google Drawing tools. 

I created this masterpiece by using the Explorer tool in GDrawing to find an image of a 'hot dog'. The picture was randomly selected from a list of my favourite things. I traced the original image using the polyline tool. I "split" the image into main parts (e.g. bun, sausage, mustard) which made was easier to trace than one large object or outline. 

Something I found difficult was trying to draw Sasuke from Naruto but I kept messing up the hair.  The picture seemed easy to do but using a mousepad was really difficult for me. I reckon with a mouse, I could create some great pictures! That's no excuse no, you should see what one of my students has come up with - Pita recreated Naruto himself and he looks very authentic!  

Tracing our own images like this could be useful for trying to create and share, or to support, our own examples of learning. This term we are learning to attribute images, text and media we use; to make sure we acknowledge the help we may have used.

Cybersmart: Taika and Mr N filming Boy Sequel for Manaiakalani Film Festival

Kia ora, my name is Mr N. This is my friend Taika and here is showing off his cool Grammy Award. We are here at Te Oro in Glen Innes filming the sequel to his Wellywood blockbuster, Boy. Part two will be called, "Girl".*

I learned how to create this image today by removing the backgrounds of myself and my cool friend. I took a screenshot of a local place of interest in Glen Innes, which is actually where a lot of dance, drama, music and performing arts takes place. This pic was all collated and edited on Google Drawing. I really enjoyed the humour, creativity and skill I used to complete this task. If I could work on anything, it would be to use a clearer, less 'foggier' picture of me. 

Thanks in advance for your comments - please also be sure to have a look at the other Room 7 (and Room 1) students who also created their own pieces. 

*disclaimer: Taika isn't actually filming with me - he's way too busy filming Thor: Love and Thunder at the moment.
