Data and Sheets

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

There are so many ways out there to connect using technology! Especially valuable and needed during our current situation in own country with our lockdown.  Sharing has indeed become the new way of connecting.

The following are little gems I have come away with from Dorothy's slide this morning;
If it's worth teaching it's worth capturing.
If it's worth learning it's worth capturing.

Having students exposed to technology learning even if it's in bite sized pieces to start off with.

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
Really enjoyed being involved in my first large google hangout and navigating all the areas to connect into, disconnect and reconnect! Amazing.  Found today quite challenging being on line when the time came to need help! and a particularly challenging topic for today.  However I did find that further practice in using google sheets could then be put to use as a data tool for recording my students learning.

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

Unfortunately most of today's work was more aimed at the senior to intermediate end of a school not for a junior area. However I could see if my facilitator could do a mini lesson on getting the children to make a couple of markings on a familiar map as part of google maps.

Media hype!

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

Anne Sinclair had good food for thought for me around Manaiakalani.  I liked how she talked about bringing it back to create, explore and discover through play and technology.  It was also good to learn that create is a doing word and involves multiple senses of the whole body.  We are empowering our learners through choice, being creative thinkers and developing ideas.

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

Creating a playlist chanel will help as a shortcut to planning and will make it easier to access appropriate media.
Setting up a you-tube channel.
Google drawing.
Google slides.


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

The  you-tube playlist channel for viewing purposes and the google draw component of slides.

Keep it real!

Verna's slide show

I found the teacher actions, steps 1-7 slide promoting student learning informative and learnt how it linked with the manaiakalani vision. Teaching through technology empowers our students to become confident and capable learners. I am beginning to see some of my students showing this during their technology learning time.  A few of them have the confidence to be buddy teachers for others. 

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

I liked learning how I can go about making a keep file and that I can use it as an app on my phone too. As a teacher this is going to make my life that little bit more organised. Along with the subtitles in my emails. Learning and creating my subtitles has already become a great shortcut. I also liked being able to navigate and organise my calendar, changing colours, dates and adding guests will be a great system to use.

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

As a junior teacher I found that today's session was not helpful for my learners. However helpful to me on a professional level for my learning and implementing.

Organisation of my calendar!

The Beginning

I found most of the lessons went at a good pace and I was surprised I could keep up. The one to one help and support was valuable as well as learning new shortcuts.
The scavenger goggle piece was interesting and useful to use in a classroom setting.
I liked the concept of 'tidy folders' as mine can sometimes become a scramble! I will look at organising this sooner rather than later.
Some of the areas covered today I could see being of benefit to senior teachers and learners rather than juniors.
I liked the create part of the day when we could choose to make something useful and a poster was a
great idea.
This is what I have started to create for my junior class.
