Work to be done still with students organising files and checking on blog entries.

Remember to get Chase a cup for voice typing - what can be done for students with speech problems who struggle to type and to anunciate clearly?

Remember to do class blog weekly!

Task appropriateness in create is very important - i.e. times tables you would not use painting but maybe a poem or song.

Learing comes naturally through being creative.

Instead of saying what are we going to learn today - what are we going to create???

Create is a doing word -multiple senses.  USe the whole body.

Exploring creative ideas

It is okay for not all students to produce something every time - they will still learn from the creative process of doing things.

Putting a video on the blog helps students feel like they are more creative.


Kent - livestreaming different events
Livestraming through youtube - no scial media as they should not be on it under 13.  Footage is much easier to use like this as you can embed it where you need to.

Create the week ahead of time and have it count down to it - people know there is an event to look out for on the school website.

View has about a 30second delay as it goes back to California.  You can have students run a live commentary - you might set as private until you check the audio is all ok and so then run it on delay after the event.

New expensive technology out of America - about $2000 so need to consider how often you will use it before buying.

Creator studio - live streaming on your laptop.
Drone filming is another option - height restricted because of aircraft.
Your phone works to record things so be careful of speech.

Schoolwide - sports- art projects, performances at assembly, production,

Command space brings up spotlight search

You Tube

Putting up video's of students needs to be checked with BOT.  Not reccomended.

Playlist to embed - edit then share

Google Draw

Lots of options
Callouts can create speech bubbles in a comic strip.



Google draw - save as a png to add to google slides.  I have added this to my Matariki slides.


Google Slides

Create your own theme in slides.

Using slides is a great way to create.
Try to get students to be creative in their design

Goal for students to get better at designing their own - after they use too much colour you discuss how does it look to read etc. Visual design is an important part.

Sharing planning on site - only people with editing rights can see the comments - so you can use comments for private notes and reflections.

Students online is like they are out in the public on a giant field trip.

Here are my attemps in google draw today.

• What did I learn that increased my understanding of Create within the Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy? It was good to have a chance to try google draw which I had not yet had time to explore. I used to to make some images of our class science learning. It was also great to have a step by step on playlists which I can now put into my site.

• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional? I think the playlists will make it much easier for my students to be offered short clips to introduce topics and reinforce their learning. I explored blogger more and checked all my students blogs to see who has not been making their entries and have now emailed all those with work to add. I also loaded the learning drawings I created to my class whanau blog.

• What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  I will definately get them to create with google draw - it is a great way to record their learning journey. We are still working on voice typing and will try the cup as volume is an issue in the classroom - I am not sure what to do about speech issues which also affect two of my students who struggle to write - they are nervous to try voice typing.

• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life? I need to spend time over the next week to cement this knowledge as with toolkits and reports over the past few weeks it has been hard to sepend time embedding knowledge. I feel more confident now to track and comment on my students blogs.
