Reflection Visible learning lean/create/ share

 Do your learners know the process of learn, create, share?

• my learners are constantly using this process, however they do not articulate this.  
• they are NE. and this is school for them

 Do your parents/community know the process of learn, create, share?

• they are in the beginning process of this
• our school is in it's first year

 Is this visible on your school site/class site/class blog?

This has been quite a journey, so much to learn and practise.  Certainty know what it is like  to be a learner in the learning pit.  Learning from others is great to keep practising what  you learn and share.  There is so much to gain from digital fluency.  I think no matter where you start just keep going has been my biggest growth.  This is all about confidence have a go and keep going.  All the qualities we want our learners to have.  My picture is a representative of a day in my classroom anything can happen.  These children just opened the door and let the lamb in the class.  It was the reaction from me that was more shocked than my learners.  This is my leaning journey link to digital learning.  My learners have the right growth mindset and I owe it to them to be equally open to learning.
The Manaiakalani create, learn, share is perfect for all good teaching and learning practice.

week 8

Reflection

• Improved your understanding for the Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?

Good pedagogy i s good pedagogy whatever you are teaching and it is enlightening to know the pedagogy Manaiakalani has is all about learn, create, share. The digital technology is making the learning better. It gives students agency.

• Empowered you professionally with your teaching practice?

I feel professionally empowered to know there are so many opportunities connecting our

students to have an authentic purpose and audience with endless opportunities.

• Given you new skills that you can use with your learners?  

The "green screen do ink" is an app that many of our children could use and present and

share to a wide audience. Many skills are needed to use this effectively including saving

before sharing to the drive.

• Improved your confidence with digital fluency, capability or workflow in your personal life?

I am way more confident to keep going when I don't succeed. It definitely has put me
in the learners position and the feeling of being in the learners pit. I still have a steep wall to

climb but that is true authentic learning.

Teaching as inquiry
Manaiakalani Week 5 Reflection

garden site

Multi model sites are a great teaching tool with endless possibilities.  I am looking forward to seeing the explain everything and being able to experiment with my students using ipads.





 The visible learning presentation by Dani was inspirational and hearing stories from a current practicing teacher and her personal journey helped embed the pedagogy behind our children needing a greater audience for truly authentic learning.  I enjoyed the story Dani shared with her children's "place" to be was the baseball court next to burger king.  Her children linked in with one of our schools where our children's "place" was catching eels. Her children also were surprised that the Far North children had computers.  How to enhance all of our learning together with our tamariki.  The most powerful way for our children to be hooked on learning is with their peers.  The world is becoming so much more accessible.  We as teachers have the responsibility to be guiding our children on this journey.  

 Today we had time to create more through the create time and this was very useful to achieve more.  I think being given the content first to work with helped us because we didn't waste precious tool exploring time thinking of lesson content that we could use ourselves.  The garden topic was easily transferable through the levels  as given in the examples.

google sheets to google doc

google sheets using screen castify


All these tools we used today e.g. google maps, google sheets, google forms, making graphs from a spread sheet, were new to me today, so I need to practice using these tools to embed them.  I see screen castify as a valuable tool for me because you will be able to revisit this when you are doing this alone and your personal notes don't have the detail you think that you had mastered when you are sitting without the experts.

The more I use blogger the greater my confidence but I still have heaps to learn.  I have developed a bad habit of not saving through  using google docs over an extended period time.  This is just a matter of retraining myself when using blogger.

Manaiakalani 

Reflection Week 3

• What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?
• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
• What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  
• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?

Google Drawing

Google Slide

Today I have had a chance to use google draw and google slides 

Both of these examples are easily transferable to use with my students.  They could both be used as a teaching tool or they students could present their work to share with others.  I also tidied my tool bar and cleaned up my google drive.  These opportunities were so valuable not only have time with experts but also having so many "tricks" about how to be more efficient when using this tool instead of just muddling through by trial and error.  I am feeling way more confident to persevere and eliminate to get to where I need to be.

The Manaiakalani pedagogy regarding what create means as a New Zealand teacher was very refreshing.  As a teacher of New Entrant children we can often be left out of the loop when it comes to updating our skills.  I feel our young children are such a huge factor of being naturally confident when creating.
