Preparing for Internet Safety Week
Yesterday I put together a short Puppet Pals video for the Primary School, which attempts to explain what Netiquette really is.
The Apps
I have found that
Puppet Pals is a great resource, once you have purchased the
director's pass.
It allows you to upload your own content and produce short videos that
are easy to download as well as upload. Videos can easily be opened and
edited in iMovie as well as dropboxed to a Mac where they can be edited
and scored in iMovie and Garageband.
I also love
Sock Puppets for this type of work and
Morfo
is great for head shots. In both cases the puppets mouths actually move
with your voice. I have had trouble with Sock Puppets recently however,
as the option to save to the iPad picture roll seems to have
disappeared with the free version. Time to upgrade I guess....
Anyway I hope you enjoy our little video on
Netiquette.
Internet Safety Week would not be complete without a special display in the LRC. This year the librarians took on the challenge of getting the Safer Internet Daytheme across, "Let's create a better internet together". We decided to utilise the very popular online game Minecraft to do so. Many of our students are avid Minecrafters had plenty of advice to give about the display. They quickly became part of the team and played an important role as creative liaisons 
Here a a few images which show how this wonderful display turned out. You can view the entire album on the LRC Facebook page.
