wooohoo new Wednesday, new Learning, creating and sharing!!

Wednesday 6 June:

1. Learn and practise :  google draw - ask Kerry on Tuesday 12 June
2. Learn and practise:  voice typing - ask Kerry on Tuesday 12 June
3. Find out from Kerry how to get the students work all in a folder that is set up...I’m sure this is
4. part of Hapara?? But how do I see the work? Instead of sharing with me

Learning part of the day: visible!!

Visible for everyone, especially whanaua. Parents have access to class site and kids’ learning.

Kids also have a clear picture of what we are learning. Also open for other teachers, and help your
own planning as a teacher.  Gives you access to other /new / different ways of doing it.

FAIL = some kids unsure of learning, school can be scary for them, so this open/sharing takes this
away.

It is powerful when parents take time to actually care to comment or discuss it with their children.  

Visibility of blogs/ parents can comment.  Take away the feeling of “we are not sure what we are
learning”,

ultimate to blog about their learning. You don’t have to read the teacher’s mind, it is now on
their site and this is WHAT WHY HOW we are doing the learning.  Technology is just a tool,
we still need to explain it in real life.  Unpack the learning and success criteria together with the kids.

In Mainaikailaini :The default is VISIBLE.  All our docs are shared with everyone.

Blog commenting should be only positive. Some things should not be seen,

and should be kept offline (sharing personal data/personal info about a student etc)

Visibility :  surprise is not a fun thing in education; rather change the slides and share

this immediately with students.  Put the work up in advance; they can work through it on their own
time.

Visible = Accessible, available , advance.

We must use teacher dashboard (hapara) to ensure a safe learning environment/ to keep track;

parent portal on hapara?? Cool tool for the parents; they have access to their children’s docs/folders.

What is google class on air? Ask Kerry

Teaching as Inquiry:  (on Mainaikailaini website?) - Ask Kerry

Students should be hooked into their learning; it empowers them if USED correctly

Your site is like a shop window...we want to “sell” our site!

Unfortunately the novelty wears off...and therefore

Behavioural engagement should be the starting point….cognitive engagement

Hook and teach!!

Chrissie Butler:  Universal design for learning

You need to know how your teachers learn...some with videos, some teacher, etc. They need to
choose what works best for them, but they need to know the different ways that learning can happen.
fferent modes of engagement:  video, make something, strengthen their learning.
(text, videos, google slides, articles etc)

Investigate Padlet

Make a site...planning!! planning , planning!!

What is multimodal...using multiple modes to teach (same topic shown in different ways)

Let’s have a play:  

So create a site:  what content to we want to have on the website

HOMEPAGE

And then all the other topics

And then all the sub-pages
