CAS at Home by Ms Willoughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh Ideas compiled by Dief students and staff en-us 2020-04-02 15:01:01 UTC 2020-05-29 23:46:29 UTC hello@padlet.com In the summer my grandma taught me how to knit. Now everyday we Skype and we're both knitting hats at the moment. My mom and I went to Micheals to get the materials needed, yarn and straight knitting needles. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489189965 2020-04-02 15:07:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489189965 You can learn programming! It encourages creative problem solving and can really be useful in the future. All you need is a laptop or desktop computer and you can even get apps on your phone to learn programming on the go. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489190478 2020-04-02 15:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489190478 For creativity experience, I play the tenor sax, so what I do I do some song making and practicing with my tenor sax. Since I have not been given new band pieces, I would go online learn a new song or create a solo with my sister. An Instrument is needed and musical skills. What I also do is start learning and practicing on my guitar sometimes and on my ukulele. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489191410 2020-04-02 15:08:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489191410 Artistic bulletin board for tracking what you need to do for studying content at home. Materials: foamboard/corkboard/magnetic whiteboard/similar, coloured paper, pins or magnets, tape (clear or washi), writing supplies, post it notes/small pieces of paperSet up your board and make borders or corner decorations with coloured paper and seperate it into 7 sections for each day of the week. Try to make a matching colour scheme with the post it notes/small paper and what pins/magnets you have to make a cohesive aesthetic look. There's a lot of customizability with this so you can make your board look however you want including characters you like or art designs that can be drawn or printed. Once you finish you can put the different topics that you need to study or other things you need to work on on the post its/small papers and place them on the board, in different sections for ones you've already finished and ones you still need to do. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489191934 2020-04-02 15:08:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489191934 You can make a cover of your favourite song. You can achieve this by be using real instruments (even your voice counts), online programs, games (Minecraft etc. all allow u to do this), or even using no conventional instruments such as empty glass bottles, buckets or class wine cups filled with water. You can search up some tutorials on the basics of music and be well on your way to be able to experiment and explore different pitching to be able to create your own cover of your favourite song :D ( you can also write up scores as an added bonus)! kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489211051 2020-04-02 15:15:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489211051 Learning Javascript - I will do this in my free time, and see what I can possibly create from the online resources available. I would need a computer to code and an online library to get started. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489211529 2020-04-02 15:15:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489211529 You can make a board or card game! kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489213398 2020-04-02 15:16:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489213398 You could learn a new language using a language learning app kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489213855 2020-04-02 15:16:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489213855 You could do art projects at home and pick themes for each project. You could pick up book writing and write poetry. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489214197 2020-04-02 15:16:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489214197 Re-arranging your room/ redecorating a room in the house that needs work kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489214510 2020-04-02 15:16:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489214510 During isolation not only do you get more time to reflect over global issues, such as COVID-19 and the steps you can take to help others. Why not take this chance to help the community understand the dangers of this disease, and how everyone can come together to solve it. A great way to do this is by designing creative posters, videos or even making a song to post on social media that would effectively inform people why this is such an important topic! The focus of these 'advertisements' would be to inform people of the misconceptions regarding COVID-19 and why isolation is so important. Depending on the medium they can go up around your community, on social media or other platforms. Your work could also aim to explain to children why it is important to wash your hands and how to do it. We can all work together and take the right steps to overcome this challenge in a creative way! kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489215574 2020-04-02 15:16:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489215574 Online Tutor/at home tutor: helping students online using video chat apps (skype, facetime) or helping relatives (younger siblings) with scholastic subjects kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489219302 2020-04-02 15:18:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489219302 Solving many different kinds of puzzles. With our advanced technology, it has never been easier to access crosswords, word searches, puzzles, sudoku and all sorts of brain games. Most of these are easiest to find with a computer or a phone. If you don't have access to these, the local newspaper will always have a crossword or a sudoku puzzle for you to solve. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489219954 2020-04-02 15:18:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489219954 I would do digital art on my tablet, or help video editing with IMovie or any other video editing device, or help my parents with cooking. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489220303 2020-04-02 15:18:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489220303 something that I have always enjoyed is listening to new music. Music always has a wonderful message behind it and is often very open to interpretation. what I would suggest would for people to try and expand their musical taste and try listening to new artists, then to make it more fun people could analyze the music they listened to and try to desired what the theme or message behind it. this would allow people to enjoy some new music while practicing their analytical skills. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489220770 2020-04-02 15:18:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489220770 I think creativity at home will allow me to express myself creatively out of desperation to find something to do. Although there are limited resources for me to be creative, I still think that the need for something to will spark motivation to try something new (like paint or try to draw). kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489221289 2020-04-02 15:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489221289 This is a decent time to pursue some of your creative skills. I decided to use this time to model projects I created in minecraft based on photographs or artistic paintings. This would only require a computer and the game itself. This can also apply to many different platforms. There are also many challenges out there for minecraft building and tips. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489222014 2020-04-02 15:19:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489222014 My idea for a CREATIVITY experience that I can do from home is playing my instrument. During the break so far, I have actually composed a piece myself and I have tried to play it on my instrument every day. I have also practiced pieces given in class which has improved my playing greatly. For this experience, you just need your instrument and your mind. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489222486 2020-04-02 15:19:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489222486 You can learn a dance with your family. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489222987 2020-04-02 15:19:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489222987 Painting a mural on your bedroom wall. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489223709 2020-04-02 15:19:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489223709 Learning something from the performing arts. Drawing, singing, or an instrument. I personally play the piano. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489225380 2020-04-02 15:20:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489225380 Arts and Craft: I'm learning how to draw and I made a bead necklace. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489226442 2020-04-02 15:20:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489226442 Dress up and make weird hairstyles and props like a shield and helmet then have a photoshoot with your family. Materials would be anything you have at home that can be used to make props such as paint and cardboard and hair ties for the weird hairstyles. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489227005 2020-04-02 15:20:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489227005 Build a game using Roblox studio, or at least learn how to as I am currently doing so. There is a plugin called Studio+ by CKStudioPlus which can be searched on Roblox under the "Create" section then filter searches to plugins. This plugin is a step by step course on how to do basic coding in Roblox studio and modelling. There is also a guide to making an obby and a tycoon(these are two types of games on Roblox). To be able to do this, all one needs is a computer, internet, download Roblox(which is free) and make an account on Roblox(also free). kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489227403 2020-04-02 15:21:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489227403 Complete an unfinished task or project. Now is the perfect time to check things off of your to-do list. It is important to finish the things we start because not only is it beneficial for self gain, but it leaves us feeling very satisfied when we are done. You can finish a painting you never had time for or finally get around to doing a big closet clean out. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489227743 2020-04-02 15:21:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489227743 Something that is accessible for all students is learning how to code. This is a good experience as there are many free programs available that can teach programming languages from Python to C++. Many people are also going into the field of engineering, if not software engineering, and learning the basics of coding now can help out in the future. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489229576 2020-04-02 15:21:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489229576 I will take up more painting, a hobby that I normally do not have time to do during school. I already have the paints and stuff, I just need lots of things to paint kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489229897 2020-04-02 15:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489229897 I’m making scrunchies. I made the designs myself and am using household materials along with fabric I bought before the pandemic. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489230371 2020-04-02 15:22:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489230371 Create your own skit that you can act out. This can practice your creative thinking and of course, learn how to express different emotions with body language. You will need paper and pencil to write down the script and maybe some props that you might want. Also, you need an opponent or partner to act with unless it is a one man show. This is the time to show the different sides of you. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489230741 2020-04-02 15:22:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489230741 An idea for a creativity experience I can do from home is baking. It is something that I enjoy when I have free- time, and now I am able to do it whenever I like. The materials and resources I would need is the Internet to find a recipe, and the ingredients to bake the good. However, if I do not have the basic ingredients of flour or sugar, I would purchase it, unless it is a specific item which isn't used in every recipe, and would instead opt for a different one as it better to stay at home during this time. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489231145 2020-04-02 15:22:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489231145 My idea for a creativity experience you can do from home can include baking a cake, especially if there is a birthday coming up in your family that's staying with you at home. Preferably, the cake would be something more creative as long as you have the proper materials. In order to perform this experience, you would need to research how to make the base of the cake and the icing. In addition, you would need all the proper ingredients in order to make the cake. The creativity aspect can also show how a person could challenge themselves by creating their own cake and icing designs. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489231748 2020-04-02 15:22:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489231748 My idea for a creativity experience you can do from home can include baking a cake, especially if there is a birthday coming up in your family that's staying with you at home.

Such as learning how to paint, sew, or knit. To paint you would just need some paint, painting brushes, and a surface to put your art on. For knitting, you would need knitting needles and yarn. For sewing, you could re-purpose some old clothes and make something brand new. There are a lot of online tutorials on how to do all of these things, or you could just try and make something from your own imagination. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489232631 2020-04-02 15:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489232631 Learn a new skill and develop a new hobby using websites online and books you have, do an activity, play with people at home. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489232938 2020-04-02 15:23:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489232938 create new items of clothing from old items of clothing. Do this by taking an old piece you don't wear anymore, and bleach, crop, or design it in a way where it would be desirable to wear again. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489233234 2020-04-02 15:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489233234 Learn how to bake something new. You'd need the ingredients and supplies required by the recipe as well as enough time to bake. You'd also need a reliable place to get recipes kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489233546 2020-04-02 15:23:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489233546 Sewing kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489240112 2020-04-02 15:25:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489240112 An activity experience you can do at home can include a physical activity challenge that could last up to a week. By measuring how many push ups, sit ups, lunges, and how you long you can wall-sit for, you can then use the rest of the week to try to surpass that point. This would keep up your physical activity even at home. The only items you would need include a stopwatch on your phone, a notepad to keep track of your record throughout the week, and an empty wall space to do the wall sit. The goal would be to surpass your number or time from the day before until the end of the week to see your progress. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489249556 2020-04-02 15:29:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489249556 At home workout because the gym is now closed. I’ve been doing calisthenics (body weight exercise) kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489250612 2020-04-02 15:29:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489250612 Yoga kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489250865 2020-04-02 15:29:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489250865 You can find exercises online that don't need any equipment, for example yoga for flexibility, push ups/planks for strength, and running up and down stairs for endurance. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489251460 2020-04-02 15:29:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489251460 For an activity experience that I do that others can do is do “Just Dance”. With this on my TV I would simply go on YouTube and start dancing to different songs for at least 1h each day. I enjoy doing this it gives good exercise and can brighten up the mood. Materials is simply a TV that has YouTube or even your IPad or phone. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489251882 2020-04-02 15:29:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489251882 You can do yoga! There are always videos online on yoga techniques and now that we have time I think we can really find ourselves refreshed through this activity if we’re trying to avoid gruelling exercise. You don’t need any materials or prior experience to start yoga either, just an open space and an open mind. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489252597 2020-04-02 15:30:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489252597 Do just dance, you don’t need an actual console you could just do them on youtube kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489252903 2020-04-02 15:30:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489252903 An at home gym/workout schedule. If you have an at home gym then utilize it and set a schedule for it. If you don’t have an at home gym you can go for runs (the snow makes it more effort), do core excel uses without the equipment and follow excel use videos. You can also do Just Dance if you have the technology for it because that is a really good workout. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489253280 2020-04-02 15:30:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489253280 An at home gym/workout schedule.

Technology such as the Nintendo Wii allows for one to do the same thing while also having fun! The gaming set up is designed to help you exercise your muscles, and the options are unlimited. You can try yoga, dance, cardio workouts and more. Family members can also join you in a friendly competition to not only break a sweat but also get activity hours! kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489256747 2020-04-02 15:31:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489256747 At home workouts: making workout routines with friends or relatives kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489257018 2020-04-02 15:31:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489257018 Following Dance Central tutorials, By searching up on YouTube: Dance Central, you can choose a song of your choice and a rigorous, calorie-burning dance ensues. Follow the moves on the left side and ensure you don't have respiratory problems so you won't become short of breath. All that is needed is a computer/tablet, or a T.V. a spacious area, and a water bottle on the side, kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489257408 2020-04-02 15:32:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489257408 I would jog because we have a jogging machine at home, or do some with the videos online, such as yoga, or workouts. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489257668 2020-04-02 15:32:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489257668 We can try to exercise at home by following YouTube tutorials for yoga, dance, fitness, etc. This requires space in the house to move around, and a yoga mat for fitness and yoga. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489258117 2020-04-02 15:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489258117 Because of the snow recently there is plenty on the roads and in the parks. If you have access to the equipment it may be fun to go skiing around parks and on the roads (if you live in a quiet neighborhood). If you don't have skills you could go sledding instead or perhaps rent some skis for the day if you are so inclined. It is best to make use of the snow since we cannot get rid of it. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489258441 2020-04-02 15:32:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489258441 For Activity, I heavily rely on school sports for this. Now that I don't have any sport season to prepare for, I can workout at home and try my best to stay active. Even going out to my backyard to play catch is something to do with my family. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489258723 2020-04-02 15:32:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489258723 For me, I fulfilled my activity experience by taking the time to practice ping pong. This can be done individually or with another player. Individually, you can practice and hone your accuracy skills by practicing off the wall. You will only need a paddle and a ping pong ball. Make sure to stand medium distance to the wall and not let the ball hit the floor. If you have a ping pong table, you can also fold it halfway to make it authentic. If you have someone else you can place with, both of you can practice games with a makeshift table or if you have an actual table, it is good practice. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489259263 2020-04-02 15:32:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489259263 My idea for an ACTIVITY experience that I can do from home is playing soccer and basketball either in my basement or in my backyard. I have played either soccer or basketball almost every day of the break with my older brother and younger sister. For this experience, all I needed was the sports equipment and someone to play with. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489259505 2020-04-02 15:32:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489259505 You can try and get a six pack by doing core exercises for everyday of quarantine.

The classes are every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 11-11:45. I did one yesterday and it was a bit hard to keep up but I got through it. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489260394 2020-04-02 15:33:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489260394 Excercise: I downloaded a fitness app that I follow everyday to stay in shape. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489260671 2020-04-02 15:33:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489260671 Go outside to your backyard and make a snowman. All you would need for this is snow, a carrot, some rocks for the face and some accessories for your snowman. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489260980 2020-04-02 15:33:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489260980 Create a personalized workout Whether you exercise regularly or not, it is important to stay active. With all of the spare time we now have, create a realistic workout that you will actually follow. Make sure it's fun enough so that you're motivated to follow it. Exercise keeps us healthy and happy, and surprisingly sane while we're stuck at home.It doesn't need to be hard core, you can finish it off with some yoga! kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489261624 2020-04-02 15:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489261624 A lot of people have been staying inside for long periods of time over these couple of days. With a bit of snowfall happening, I think a good Activity experience may be building snowmen or snow forts. That way, you can do something that's fun while getting some vitamin D into the system (something that most people are being deprived of). kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489261954 2020-04-02 15:33:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489261954 At home workouts that I see on TikTok kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489262323 2020-04-02 15:33:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489262323 I like to watch YouTube, but instead of sitting and watching.

I recommend the Dance Monkey dance routine for beginners. Not only can you work out, but you can also enjoy your favourite music and you might end up creating your own dance routine. You just need the internet and follow the instructor. No need for any materials. Fun and easy :) kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489262885 2020-04-02 15:34:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489262885 An idea for an activity experience I can do from home is taking a run in my neighborhood. I would do this experience only on days where it is suitable for being outside. I would wear the appropriate clothing for the current weather conditions, and make sure I practice social distancing as many of people will be walking around the neighborhood for fresh air. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489263167 2020-04-02 15:34:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489263167 My idea for an activity experience would be exercising. You don't really need any materials at all. There are many videos online that can teach you yoga, cardio, and so much more at home. You could go out for a walk or run as well, keeping in mind to stay close to home and at least 2m away from others. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489263648 2020-04-02 15:34:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489263648 Do some exercises at home, go for a walk outside if safe, offer to walk other people's dogs if they are unable to, go for a bike ride or a run, go to a park or go hiking, participate in physical activities and encourage other people to do so as well. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489263989 2020-04-02 15:34:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489263989 Learn how to do tricks such as cartwheels by following instructional videos online. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489264523 2020-04-02 15:34:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489264523 Follow yoga tutorials on youtube.

On YouTube you can find videos that don't have any captions and write the transcriptions for them, helping for people to watch the video even if they can't hear its audio. You can write image descriptions for social media site that have repost/reblog/share functions so that people with visual impairment can understand these posts. I have more experience with image descriptions so I'll give a tutorial on that:When you write the image description check if the social media has a way to put them in directly and if so use that method. If not, put the description in square brackets and start it with "[Image description:" and end it with "End ED]". Make sure when you are writing the description you include information that a sighted person would be able to get from the image (so transcribe any text that is in it, briefly describe any people shown. In general a description for 1 image should be about a medium length paragraph but it depends on how detailed the image is. If you do this keep track of what posts/pieces of media you make accessible as evidence for your CAS portfolio since it's not through a specific organisation so you won't have a person to vouch for it per-say. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489274099 2020-04-02 15:38:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489274099 You can create your homemade soaps by following tutorials online with essential oils or such. Then you can package them and write notes along with them and give them to your neighbours to help them stay clean and fight off the germs of the COVID-19. You can also include notes about how to stay hygienic and how to avoid spreading germs during the pandemic :D! kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489277314 2020-04-02 15:39:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489277314 You can make YouTube videos centred around ib studies or studies in general. There are many students at home right now which means many parents are trying to homeschool their child during this time. We might think it unnecessary to post videos that may never be watched, but there may be some students who identify better with our teaching method than others. We could even make YouTube videos on our experience as an ib student for the next year students joining the ib program. We can use our knowledge and experience to help others, and we don’t need much besides a camera and a well lit room to do it. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489277976 2020-04-02 15:39:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489277976 You could write letters to a senior centre or a drop in center kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489278381 2020-04-02 15:39:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489278381 Help out people who can’t go out in fear of Covid-19.

An epidemic like COVID-19 may not affect you as much because you are taking the right steps and staying home, but it is important to remember those who are in need and affected by the chaos in the world right now. This is a great opportunity to use your technology skills to create a fund, website or charity which can benefit a group of people or individual who is struggling in some sort of way. This could include but is not limited to contacting seniors and low- income families in your community in case they need any support or fundraising money in the community to support medical facilities around the world (money for supplies, research etc.). Your website/ fundraiser could also be a great place to compile information about COVID-19 to inform people about the current situation, why it is so important to isolate and the steps that can be taken to defeat this virus. Such an initiative will encourage your whole community to work together! kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489280337 2020-04-02 15:40:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489280337 clearing snow in the community, especially driveways and sidewalks kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489281458 2020-04-02 15:40:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489281458 Shopping for elderly neighbours during these difficult times. Buying them necessities is a great help and a wonderful service. To do this, permission is needed from your parents and your neighbours so you know what they need and how you can aid them. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489281747 2020-04-02 15:40:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489281747 I would shovel the neighbor’s snow if needed, I don’t know if it counts to mentor people online and creating encouraging digital art for people being self-isolated. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489282082 2020-04-02 15:40:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489282082 It would be nice if we were to shovel people's walks for them or maybe dust the snow off people's cars in the morning. It may be nice to try and bake something for the elderly people in our neighborhoods, or maybe we could put together a bag of essential for them so that they don't have to leave there home for a while longer. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489282583 2020-04-02 15:41:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489282583 This CAS experience is by far the hardest for me to think of something to do. I think the best idea would be to research a demographic in need of monetary support and start a GoFundMe that I can advertise on social media. Even trying to raise money for other causes by online means may help. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489283377 2020-04-02 15:41:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489283377 Although it's difficult to fulfill the service requirement, you can participate by helping set up online resources such as study material to aid with schooling. This can benefit the community as children will still have access to quality education around the world. You will only need an internet connecting device for this activity. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489284067 2020-04-02 15:41:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489284067 During the break, I have safely asked people around the neighbourhood to shovel their driveways and the sidewalks used by the general public. By doing these things, I would be helping the community as well as myself. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489284462 2020-04-02 15:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489284462 Offering to get groceries for senior citizens in your community, as they are more susceptible to contracting the corona virus.

As this is a time of isolation, many people may be struggling with their course work. By getting on a call (whether that be phone call, FaceTime, Skype, Discord, etc), you can not only help out your peers with their studies but also lessen the burden of long isolation. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489286276 2020-04-02 15:42:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489286276 I’m not sure what I can do, but I wanna support a YouTube (mrbeast) who uses his YouTube funds to help his community.

I would do this experience by shoveling their driveway when I am also shoveling mine, and when it is garbage day, I will put out their black bin if it seems like they have forgotten. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489290783 2020-04-02 15:44:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489290783 An idea for a service experience you can do from home can include offering free tutoring services to students and even possibly their siblings. Given that learning is now online, some students might be struggling with the change and all the new information. Since many IB students are ahead in classes or coursework, they would be able to offer their help by tutoring those in younger grades or in classes they have already completed. This can be done by video calling through a variety of platforms like Skype or Zoom. Some other useful materials can include a whiteboard and markers for demonstrations, but paper and pencils can also work. By utilizing our previously learned knowledge, we can provide a great service and peer support to students in need. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489291666 2020-04-02 15:44:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489291666 There are organizations that provide online volunteering. The materials needed would vary for each one. You could also make and send something to people in need. For example, you can knit squares for "Blankets for Canada" and ship them to be sewed into blankets for those in need. You would need yarn and knitting needles for this. kmwilloughby https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489292115 2020-04-02 15:44:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kmwilloughby/vnvlqh5ilajh/wish/489292115 Shovel other people's crosswalks if there is snow while maintaining a social distance, mow others lawn and clip branches and plants, plant flowers or plants and give them to people around you, write letters, emails, or social media posts to reach out to people like seniors.
