Smart Commenting and Replying to Comments

The Year 5 and 6 students at Owairaka District School enjoyed sharing photos from their camp at Chosen Valley on their class blog.  Room 23 are participants of Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu and therefore have a ready and waiting audience for their blogposts.  Their audience (from 3 other Manaiakalani Outreach Schools throughout Aotearoa) focus on providing positive, thoughtful and helpful comments as part of the Manaiakalani Cybersmart Curriculum.  This blogpost is an incredible example of the power of an authentic audience to leave comments and the connections these have made between students.  You will notice the building of relationships through students replying to each others comments.  Head over to their class blog to check out all the comments - last count 29 comments!
