I am getting into the swing of Friday mornings out to Panmure after a busy week of work. It's a dichotomy between enjoying the time to sit and learn and getting my head around leaving school on a Thursday afternoon for the week. The sessions are very beneficial. Heightened stress levels to keep up and get the most out of it, but a good focus and a buzz when 'I'm getting it!'.
New ideas from the sharing session we will use or consider.
Bubble o meter - Bouncy balls app for the TV. Class noise levels are recognized and the image changes or words come up on the TV to quiet students down. Could be something we use in testing next term when we want them to be creating rather than doing 'silent work'.
Using Toothpicks x25 and marshmallows x20 to create the tallest structure possible. Put it into the Create Taskboard. - geometry 3D shapes revision.
Google Earth for exploration or countries and to use Longitude and Latitude coordinates.
Have a Padlet or drawing/doc that kids could enter their book review or student chosen text onto.
Hei hei - Kea Kids News on this channel - Look at this to see how to use in class.
Connecting with Manaiakalani Pedagogy and Kaupapa
Connected Learners: SHARE Tohatoha

| This image cool for kids to create something similar around how they think they share. |
2005 watershed year because of social media starting up so people can share their lives. Youtube was born. This was a hook Manaiakalani saw they could use and found for some students the share is the hook while for others the create is the hook - both engagement factors. I see this in our students as well. Some really love the blogging process while others love the making process.
Key is the purpose - global audience. "Any place can reach any place."

BLOGGER: this is the main space for our young people to share with the world. there are a number of important reasons for this that we/I need to remember.
A space to teach students how to be and behave when online.
Only author of blog not owner. Taking out on 'super highway' with checks in place - Hapara, teacher email connected, names on blogs. Google connection so seen earlier in search's. And so on.
For myself I need to use my own Blog more as a teacher on a PD level as well as with the students. I feel we need to set it as a task that is completed. Some of our students have many drafts sitting unfinished. We also need to programme commenting in more as we haven't done this as much this year as we have not been part of Tuhi mai Tuhi atu. We need our students to comment on each others work so they are reading and listening to each others work more and connecting with each other on a learning discussion level. Learning how to finish!! An important skill to learn as need it as an adult!!
Share to start new learning also important - share to get feedback and feedforward so learning continues. Often can be in a new direction.
Multi Modal Learning
Creating Sites
Engaging students is the hook. Class sites need to be engaging - a window to who we are and who our students are. A site they want to enter every time. An exciting space. We need to revisit our site with this in mind. A digital space that is leading our students into learning.
Engaging learners so achievement accelerates. Once we have behaviourally engaged students we get them cognitively engaged. Multiple ways of learning (UDL) in our students so the content we deliver needs to be provided in different ways so we engage everyone. Multi Modal Learning does this, like the task boards we have done in Te Waka Ako.
When creating these they are for students that are reading to learn not learning to read. One main text with multi text database alongside - supporting text, scaffolded text.
The example I created was around Rugby as we are heading in to a season of Rugby World Cup Mania and the level of student I have will be engaged in this topic.

A great session that will be very beneficial in setting up Literacy programmes.
