DFI Day 2

 Workflow....

What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?

The framework of the house, all must be taken seriously for success for diversity across education facilities. Ako, Hanga and Tohatoha- Learn, Create, Share.

Changes not only in education but for educators- increasing teacher effectiveness and accelerating learning outcomes.

We know that Learn Create Share is about the pedagogy not the technology, but it is always good to have that reminder.

Learn Create Share can also be used in all curriculum areas and doesn't necessary involve the use of digital technology. Using this pedagogy across all curriculum areas helps to engage learners as they are able to see and connect with each others learning.

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?

Google Keep:

Google keep can be used for both personal and educational purposes. Recording voice memos, notes as reminders or using this tool in the classroom for education. Taking photos, selecting text and adding to google doc to be shared with students.

Google Meet:

I learnt that adding a location is always helpful, especially when using your own personal google calendar to share with family and friends. Google meet is also great to add a reminder to your event for the day or week before if you are creating an event for later in the year. A reminder is always helpful.

Taming your tabs:

Star icon when creating a bookmarks, this is something I encourage within my classroom and saving passwords for those sites for students to have easy access when doing their classroom mahi.

What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  

Taming your tabs:

I do need to encourage students to create folders for their bookmarked sites, making less clutter across their task bar as some students struggle to find bookmarks if they are not on taskbar but under the arrows on right of screen.

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?

Google Meet:

Would be a great way to have students record this discussions around stories they have read during the week to show their comprehension of stories that they have been reading. They can them embed this onto their blogs for other tamariki or whanau to see.

You will see with this video from a google meet with Adriana we discussed a blog post about Anzac day that a year 6 boy did. It had multiple aspects and multiple comments that he also replied to, this we thought made a quality blog post for a student of his age. I had shared the link with Adriana in the google meet invite, next time I will present the tab, but as there was only 2 of off we could see the blog post using the link I shared before the meet started.

DFI DAY 1- COMPLETE

 The origin story... 

What is Maniakalani and why is a great opportunity for all Kura within Aotearoa?

Maniakalani has been helping educators and tamariki engage in learning for over a decade. Engaging learning by using Learn, Create, Share pedagogy with the use of 21st century learning tools (digital). 

Equity, Achievement, Hope, 21st Century skills are some of the reasons why Manaiakalani have been supporting educators for over a decade. Students are able to have authentic learning experiences whilst having their own personal voice to engage all in teaching and learning. 

After 4 years of Maniakalani being developed, whanau become engaged and a home school learning partnership regarding learning devices was established. 

 What did I learn... 

Information from today encourages my thinking for what I have been doing within my classroom, giving students ownership of their learning and making learning achievable for all learners. However, a excellent reminder is that I must have clear expectations of google docs/ files and folders, making sure these are all named correctly to make a consistent message across the teaching staff. Making it easier for when students transition from class to class each year. Similar to when setting out workbooks each year. 

In our bubble we also had a quick chat about how we can block visibility of slides so tamariki cannot access their work for the following week too early. I like making it available on Sundays so students are able to see and be prepared for their week of learning ahead. 

What did I learn that I can teach my students...

I need to encourage students to now use their initials when they create any new doc/ drawing or slides. This is a great way for students and teachers across multiple learning areas monitoring who is working on what task and also what they are working on, or what they need to finish. 

I really love the idea of eyes on text reading mileage task, this is a great way of using speech to text, where in the past I have only used this for writing. 

What did I create?

I used google Doc to create a task for my low level learners. This was a task that this day 1 had given us in a simple form, I have adjusted it using a table and added more of a specific layout that matches most of my planning. The one thing I didn't like about doing this in google Doc for my colour wheel readers is that I was unable to add a mote to this, which I do use in other planning so students can listen to the instructions, taking away any barriers for their reading.

 

Welcome to my professional learning blog.

This is a place where I can reflect on my Teaching as Inquiry goals

and how they link to the Education Council's
