Now that you have created and shared your first screencast try the Cybersmart Challenge to practise your new learning.
To help us learn the skills we will record ourselves reading a text we have prepared earlier.
This will help us focus on using our device and the screencast app confidently.
When we are reading our text we need to think about:
Pauses (at full stops and commas)
Notice exclamation marks, question marks and keywords e.g.
Intonation (the rise and fall in your voice)
Emphasis (stressing certain parts of a sentence)
Pace (slow or fast) of your speech.
Use the Keyboard Shortcuts to practise moving, rotating and flipping pieces of the Tangram.

Time yourself - how quickly can you complete? Record your time in a text box on the Google Drawing
Challenge a friend - who can complete a challenge first.
Remember Ctrl Z - If you move a piece and want to undo your move
Create your own Tangram Challenge using the the Black pieces and share on your blog for others to try.
