Minds Alive 2013 S.G.H.S

Stepping Up To Make A Change

Our shoes tell the story of how we would like to use our Minds Alive

learning to make a positive change in our world both now and in the future. We used an App called Colar Mix . e coloured in our shoes and then used

the App to get the 3 D effect.

Mrs Ineson showed us a clip she saw at U Learn.

The message was that information is

powerful but how we use it defines us.

This is how we want to be defined.

cigarettes .
