Collaborate Sites DFI 4

Connecting with Manaiakalani - Share





Learn
Blogs allow us to practice internet safety and working out what is right and what works best. We are still learning.

The Hook - Authentic Audience
How do we take advantage of YouTube with online safety as a tool to share our thinking - To become YouTubers

Sharing with Purpose - Started with the books and teacher feedback - very narrow
Audience - gives purpose for writing - bring that thinking into the students work when they blog
Getting message to whanau - You are an authentic audience - You can engage with your childs learning through blogger
Create a post on FB for whanau to show them how to view student blogs
Share to finish learning - you can continue to work on mahi

Use Matariki and Learning Conferences to do a major push in connecting with blogs.


Muti Modal
We need to make sure that we revamp our sites, update photos etc - attract our audience
Design a rich learning experience for students that has a wealth of engaging activities

Time to reflect and share with colleagues

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

Lots of reminding about allowing students to be creative with the way they learn and share their thinking. This term I could have approached learning around 3 D shapes allowing the students to create a resource to teach others using google drawing and screencastify. That we need to ensure learning tasks have SiSoMo (Sight Sound Motion). I want to do some more reading around this but I think of my 3yr Old and how he learns, it is all exploring and asking lots of questions and giving him freedom.

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

Playlists with Youtube and developing resources that are specific tio our school.

What did I learn that could be used with my learners?
Google slides and having students develop games / google draw for art / writing/ storytelling / animation. Lots of ideas to let the students be creative in the way they share their learning - The Create stage.

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?
Youtube and lining up sites for learning - Plastic Oceans

Thanks Meg V for the workshop on Storyboarding. OMG!! I think was my reaction as there is so much more to movie making than I thought. First goal will be camera angles to capture emotions. This is going to be a great challenge

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

The big thing was thinking about what makes effective teaching in the 'digital world'. Thinking about making learning so that our students are able to access it 24/7. Teachers need to be able to capture those lessons and store them on a format so that students are able to view when required. I have always loved the SAMR as this ensures we are doing what we always COULD but in a different format.

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
WOW!! Heaps - Love Google Keep this will be my new friend. I also will this week have a think how I want to set my emails so that I will achieve a better workflow.

What did I learn that could be used with my learners?
Setting up google meet in holidays to catch up with students. Feedback from blogs was really powerful.

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

Day One - Digital Fluency Intensive


Introduction - Taipa Area School - Kia Ora Whanau it was a good way to start the DFI!

Origins of Manaiakalani

Decile 1a commmunity. Tamaki. Schools built closely so no child would need to buy a bike. Whole community is now undergoing major change with intensification of housing. Principals meet in 2006 and looked at results which were bad. Young people were not leaving college with the basic skills. Sat down and developed vision and goals.


Manakalani Goals
Motivate our learners to engage with the curriculum
Provide model for 21st century teaching and learning
work with learners to establish an authentic audience for their learning
empower our learners with an evidence based belief that their voice is powerful
raise achievement outcomes 



Learn Create Share - Learn it   Create from it and then Share it!

Thinking during the day: 
Learn Create Share with Literacy /  commitment from staff that using google apps in reading and writing - share stories, read out articles , 
Create a list of google tools 

Need to establish partnership with whanau - what are we doing to achieve this?
- Student run workshops
- Newsletters?
- Regular FB posts  
- Education around the pedagogy 
Collect classroom emails and set up a google group
Do all our parents know how to access their childs mahi?  
New Entrants - digital presence.

Google Groups
Easy to set up
google.groups.com
TAGS (Goggle Groups) and LABELS (Blogs) - mean the same thing

Contacts in gmail
Set up google group from contacts - only problem it is not collaborative
Google Groups
Setting up parent groups - sports teams etc 






My Homework
Organising Drive with numbers so that most used are up the top of the list


Hints Google Doc's 101

Could be used for vocab, asking questions, 
remove.bg


Reflection

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

Learn Create Share. Want to look more closely at how we are partnering with our whanau to strengthen the Share aspect so it includes whanau. My thinking is that they do not understand the power of adding comments to blogs. We need to support our whanau into this.

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

There are heaps of different tools that can be used to make life easier when working in Drive. I need to sort my files so that the ones I use regularly are easily located. Using a colour code will also be helpful. \
I want to look at how we use our newsletter using google documents. I use way too many words and need to use more images. 
There are lots of ideas google 101 












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


I have started a google document that will be used for Matariki. It includes text, images and links to matariki sites. Students will be asked to read text and develop questions to ask others.
I want to also ensure that students feel confident using google docs and know some of the rules ie pasting. We assume they do. Will use a modified scavenger hunt
