Agenda


Progress since last session

Worked with several students using voice typine in NZ English.
Students used doc made in session to plan for Science Fair.
Planned lessons to focus on Explore tool.

Plan - to try voice typing from a reading so then they can check against the text for errors.


Dorothy  - learn, create, share allows for inclusion of all schools.
Focus on Learn today - Railtracks represent shift from analogue to digital - two tracks laid together - digital infrastructure and tools one track, the other track how we change what teaching and learning looks like in a digital learning environment.

Teaching practice must change alongside the technology to accellerate learning.
We want to use current effective teaching practice - this is to support existing highly effective practice.
Good practice should still be recogniseable as good practice.
RATE my teaching.
Recognise
Amplify
Turbocharge
Effective Practice

Sharing practice is one of these things.

The word Learn encompasses a large collection of valued outcomes and knowledge and understanding about effective teaching practice by schools.

SAMR model - designed for teaching in a digital world.

Rewindeable learning.

If it's worth teaching its worth capturing, if it's worth learning its worth capturing!

Rewind for us as we expect it for our learners.

• What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy? The focus is on using digital technology to accellerate and improve access for learners to a wider audience. The summer blogging dramatically improved the results of students who participated in comparison to their peers who did not maintain the same learning journey for literacy. It would be great to encourage students at our school to participate in such a programme so they don't stop their learning journey over this summer. I have been reflecting this week on our community buy in to the digital citizenship and feel as a school we need to do more work on convincing our whanau of the importance of this to accellerate student learning. Our school has started students buying chromebooks only in year 4 this year and will add to this next year but I am not confident all whanau are committed to the opportunities this offers their tamariki. As most classes use school devices we are not currently getting the whanau buy in that they get in Auckland where students are able to take their own devices home and have free wifi at home. Many whanau do not have great coverage and access to wifi in our school area.

• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional? I feel more comfortable about presenting and talking in google hangouts. I feel more confident seeking assistance when I am not sure how to do something. I think once I use the google tools to sort things more clearly it will save me time in the long run.

• What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  How I could use a google hangout to support a student complete work. I am still waiting to try more with the microphone tool and making more apparent links between reading and writing using this tool for struggling male learners in my class. I also want to work with my class on the explore tool to build on work we have been doing over the past few weeks around copywrite and plagerism.

• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life? Organising files and folders in gmail will be extremely helpful to find things more quickly. I now feel able to try to organise a hangout and to participate more in my toolkits through hangouts. I could embrace the calendar tool to make time management and meetings more effective.

• I would like some more support organising slides on my site but will try to ask our school experts about this during the week
