The World from Space




This is my artwork from NASA images. I found this fun but I would like to be able to colour the Earth with more details and different colours.

Embedding Video without next video

 

How to embed YouTube videos and not have other videos showing at the end of the video.


Embed code example



Here is an example of the embed code copied from YouTube with the extra code added in bold (and red).
 <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/i0sOq7EbQWI?rel=0" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>


Change the width and height to fit nicely

I use an aspect ratio calculator to ensure I preserve the correct ratio. https://andrew.hedges.name/experiments/aspect_ratio/


Full Screen

Unfortunately, full screen is not available using this embed method. Learners can use the pinch gesture to make the video bigger on their screen.

Creating an Image



We are learning to use Sumo Paint and create a drawing that goes with this text:

I am learning to use the tools and I have added layers although I downloaded it as one image. I gave the image a title so I can find it again.

Blog posting stats

Today in Dealing with Data we were looking at the stats of blog posts over time. I looked at Nese's Blog. Nese is from Edmund Hillary School in Papakura.

I can see that 2020 and 2019 were great for the number of blog posts. I wonder what the reasons are for the lower 2021 numbers. I know a long lockdown might be a big factor.

Of course, I will need to dig into the quality of the blog posts as a next step.
