Went back over the importance of  being cybersmart. Also reiterating that it is the learners responsibility for how they use devices and keeping themselves safe. Note -  go over cybersmart expectations for looking after their devices.
Blogs need to be helpful, positive, quality and thoughtful. The purpose is to share learning with others.
Discussion on the benefits of Hapara and its use in the classroom. I use Hapara system for going into the childrens' work and posting comments on what they have done and provide ideas for next steps. It is also a useful management tool to make sure they are on task. It also shows what sites they have been on.
Moved onto using Chromebooks to use devices to understand what the kids can and can't do.
Looked at screenshots and have notes on how to do this as well as other screen shortcut keys. Have made a shortcut doc for reference. 
Castafy is already loaded on the Chromebook.
While some material has been 'over my head' I have still got a lot out of the past eight sessions. I aldo have the notes both handwritten and those that were on the weekly agenda.
Thanks for the support from the facilitators and the help I received from the other participants.
