April 3, 2020 AGENDA: Collaborate Sites
Today's session starts with a bit of different feel as all teachers and facilitators join via Google Hangouts. It is a perfect example of modern technology, as without leaving home, we met up with other people and share our screens and experience digitally.
Technology is not a barrier today, and it is a footstep for us to create something new and adventurous to make life beautiful. Moreover, it is an excellent practice for us when COVID-19 has affects our ability to meet as a group.
Session starts with Connecting with each other. After ‘Karakia’ we connect with a great group of educators via ‘Gratitude Chain.’ It was awesome. I really enjoyed, and learning about the views and thoughts of other educators.
I really like Dorothy's presentation on Pedagogy and Kaupapa (Visibility in Teaching). How visibility is important in teaching and learning.
Hapara Teacher Dashboard specifically designed for Manaiakalani teaching learning program. The purpose of this learning should be visible to your teachers. It is useful for the teachers to know what their students are doing in learning and how they are going.
Together, we have developed the 'Learn, Create, Share' pedagogy, designed to accelerate the acquisition of core subjects whilst bringing the joy back into learning and teaching. Manaiakalani-Google Class On Air, is one way we have chosen to share our learning with you.
Next session was Deep Dive - with Kerry She discussed the word ‘Multi Modal’ - what we mean when we use this term. This is an inclusive, differentiated approach to teaching in a digital learning environment. Accelerating progress and outcomes for our young people for many involves firstly engaging them behaviourally- on task - bring in the right place, at the right time , doing the right thing.
We also examined the terms multi-modal and multi textual as part of T shaped literacy and challenged to consider how we can engage our learners so that they begin to take responsibility for their learning.
By personalising education, we are empowering learners to become confident, responsible and competent.
As term 2 approaches we need to consider how we can utilise google sites, Hapara, Google hangouts and different media to engage our learners, particularly as some of them will not have the same adult support usually available to them during this lockdown.

In an effective classroom, students should not only know what they are doing, they should also know why and how.

Hi Palvi,
ReplyDeleteCould this be the way forward? Engaging our learners using different media forms, leaves no room for missing out on school work. Even though, you are not physically in class, digital learning provides a platform for the learning to continue and it is also rewindable - so it can be revisited.
