My Persuasive writting

I am trying to explain why the world needs digital device

What would the world be like with no digital devices on earth?

To be fair, do you really want your future children living in darkness? My generation of children are already digital natives from the day we were born. My parents may have been introduced to computer or typewriters in their days. However, in the last thirty years computers have gone from big large machine to tiny devices that can now fit in your hand or in your pocket.     

Digital devices are a way of connecting with family and friends as an instant communication especially for our parents.

K.Walsh gives her reasons ‘why smartphones can give parents some peace of mind’ so they know where their child is at all times. Giving them a smart phone you can call or text your child to confirm their whereabouts. Many smart phones also contain GPS tracking that can be activated to noted locations.

I believe using digital devices in school is helpful in many ways to connect to information that is updated all the time.

Digital technologies are an important part of your child's world. They offer new opportunities for teachers and leaders, and new ways for you, your whānau, iwi and community to contribute to your child's learning.

For example digital technologies can enable learning to happen anywhere and anytime, not just in the classroom. Your child can connect and collaborate with other students and teachers outside their school and even across the world.  They have easy access to the huge range of resources available on the internet to support learning (websites, apps and more). You, your whānau and community will become more involved and contribute to your child's education, for example  through school Facebook pages and student blogs, and your child will be able to follow their own personal interests and talents and access experts that are not available to them locally.

Devices teach them, they connect them, they inform them and entertain you in a way that appeals to the children today.

The end.

A Birthday Celebration for a School

One hundred and ten years ago a rangatira named ‘Iraia Kuao’ fought for his land and school that was still being established here in Tautoro

Iraia Kuao died before seeing what had happen to his plan, to build a better future for his kids which was a school. when he died, his son Mara Kuao accomplish his plan there was time were it got hard for him because the English keep trying to destroy his school but he kept on fighting because he did not want his vision to disappear with a blink of an eye

Years went past and his school became a success. Now it is the 20th century and this amazing school is still standing. On the 10th of June 2016 they had the best day ever when they celebrated the school’s birthday and it has turned 110 years old.

 

There was a powhiri to welcome the kaumatua and kuia and our whanau which started the day off with lots of learning, what things were like in 1906. Which was hard. They had to dress up like the 1906 which they found fun. Then in their rooms were rows of six. As the children sat in their rows, they were learning how to write like the 1906, cursive writing which made it even worse.

Then to end it off with a performance from the tamariki of Tautoro School. It was amazing to see everyone from the whanau join in to help them sing even louder and it was extremely astounding to see the kaumatua joining in on the haka.

It was time to do activities like they did in 1906 like hula hoop and knuckle bone marbles  and a lot of other things and to finish it off with a hangi. It was beautiful and a birthday cake which looked amazing. What a amazing way to end the week.
