Today's agenda Revision
Dorothy talk on Ubiquitous Learning
Idea for learning to potentially take place 24/7 complete open access.
Learning anytime, anywhere, at any pace.
Suggests we ask principal for a TO day to pursue our own rewindeable learning.
Sharing work between classrooms - some students find another perspective easier to follow. When we share we make this possible for their learning.
Digital learning - power to transform learning and turbo charge learning - theory when we are not there the digital environment allows much more consistent and powerful learning through e.g. our site.
Students being able to make the choice about when they learn outside of school.
Plan to change the summer drop off and outside of school time productivity- summer learning journey is one way to empower students not to drop in learning over the summer.
Blogging writers were doing most surface features correctly over the summer without explicit teaching over that time.
Technology is not just a tool but a way to allow students to access new things in new ways.
Today was frustrating as my test login came too late to sit the test so now I still need to do it on the weekend.
What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?
Digital opens up opportunities for our young people that were not there before. Rewindable learning is crucial for student success. The importance of things being visible for students and whanau.
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
It has been a journey of understanding sites, being able to edit and update slides and get them onto my site. When I started DFI I found putting things into my site very time consuming and was still using email as a quicker method in Hapara to get students quick access to things. Now instead of email I either use the site or share a document in Hapara so it is saved into the right folder. We have done a lot of work on saving work in the correct place for teacher accessibility and this is running a lot smoother with practice.
What did I learn that could be used with my learners?
I hope to inspire some of my students to utilise the opportunity of the summer learning journey. We have been working on getting them able to make regular independant posts to get them ready to continue their learning over the summer.
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?
Making some good connections on the course was very helpful. It is good to talk things through with people.
Hi Penny, thanks for your participation in the DFI over the 9 weeks. I have enjoyed following your blog and getting a sense of what you find valuable for your class and your context. I do hope that we continue to keep in touch and that you find it worthwhile to keep sharing your practice on this blog.
