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.

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.
