Activity 1 & 2 and 3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Activity 1: The World Wide Web [4 points]
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.
TimBL, 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 favourite 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?
For this activity please take screenshots of four different websites that you find helpful for your learning. They can be websites that you use in class or websites that you use on your own at home. Present the screenshots as a poster or put them into a presentation.
On your blog, share your poster or presentation of your favourite learning websites.

Activity 1: The World Wide Web [4 points]
Task Description : For this task I had to pick 4 websites that help me with my learning at school or pick 4 sites that I like personally to do at home when I'm chilling or interested in something. I deiced to share 2 of each so 2 school and 2 home sites = 4 sites together! It was a pretty chill activity tho :)

Activity 2: Influencer's [4 points]
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 favourite YouTubers? In New Zealand, there are many Youtubers, including Kiwi beauty YouTuber Miria Flavell and guitar guru, Nat Pua.
For this activity please imagine that you had the chance to create your own YouTube channel. What would it be about? What kinds of videos would you create and post?
On your blog, write a description of the YouTube channel you would like to create.

Activity 2: Influencer's [4 points]
If I had a YouTube channel I would my continent about my life and what I do in it so mainly like whats happening in my life and what I do for a living! One of the main things I would like to post is challenges with my friends and family like doing the family challenge the sibling challenge etc and also having fun doing it. Also I would post some of my cookings and favourtive kinds of dishes as well as cooking it and going how to make it step by step on camera like a vlog. I also would like to post
encouraging messages on Wednesday so its basically like its " Courage Wednesday " and on that day in a video I will give encouraging message to the world and help them and support them when they need help or advice. Another post is on every Monday and Friday and Sunday I would post a fitness and healthy eating continent. Every week on Tuesday I would post a " Fun day Tuesday " Meaning every Tuesday I would post and planned out what I would do that would be fun like out going or movie night etc. Leaving out Thursday and Saturday free for anything mainly like a chill out zone and family and friends chill out days and my alone time . If I had a YouTube channel I would name it " Just a vlog and my life " meaning behind my YouTube name is my life and vlogging as well creates that name and I think its prefect!
Task Description : For this task I had to write about what I would post on my YouTube Channel if I had one. This is what i'll do if I had a YouTube Channel and its pretty cool how I planned it out and it seems fun just even writing about it! This task was pretty cool because I got to write about If I had a YouTube Channel!

Activity 3: Apple vs Microsoft [6 points]
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.
For this activity we would like you to use your best researching skills to find three more examples of common rivalries. They can be in the sports world or not - it’s totally up to you!
On your blog, describe the three rivalries that you have found. Who is involved? To gain the full 6 points for this activity, please provide a picture for each rivalry. The picture should represent the rivalry.

It was really interesting reading what you would do if you had your own Youtube channel. I think they all sound like great ideas.
