The Power of Being Ubiquitous (Rangiwhāwhā)
Dorothy talked about if we want our young people to succeed as well as their priviledged peers, we need to embrace the hours outside of 9-3pm so that they are more empowered digitally.
Prepping lessons and material - making rewindable resource. I could create a rewindable literary resource for my low-level students using Screencastify.
What are you proud of?
In 2020, my partner teacher and I were able to establish a google classroom for work and create zoom meetings to connect with our class.
What do you regret?
I regret that we didn't use Google meet instead of Zoom in March 2020 - I didn't know about it!
What have you taken forward into the 'new' era of schooling?
I have discovered Google Meet, Hapara and Jamboard and most of the Google Apps. And I have enjoyed seeing students engage with these apps, especially Google Maps and Jamboard.
Vicki talked about being 'Cybersmart' and empowering our learners as connected and confident decision makers. It helps students as they move through school, especially outside of the classroom as well. She talked about the 'Cybersmart' learning and the creation of the digital curriculum, empowering young people to make smart decisions.
Cybersmart is about being 'up to date' and this Manaiakalani PLD feels like the right course to do at exactly right time. The apps are changing all the time. She talked about sharing content that you and your whanau would be proud of, talking about respecting others and engaging online and connecting with each other in a kind and positive way. Is it positive, thoughtful and helpful?
I enjoyed using Explain Everything. This is what I created. I think this would be great for Junior students. I wasn't sure if the sound recording had saved on it (not visible) but when I went back into it, it was there.
Kia ora Jess,
ReplyDeleteThe old, we don't know what we don't know aye! Google Meet is a great tool in that the students can use it right within their school Google account - and I love the way that Jambords etc are built right in. And the polls feature is also really useful! Well done on getting those gadgets on your blog - adding your favourite books is a really nice idea to personalise your blog.

Kia ora Vicki, do you mean polls on Google meet like one we particaipated in the DFI last week? The only problem I have with Jambord is that it doesn't appear on my class site easily like the other apps do (forms, sheets, slides etc)! Really enjoying the gadgets too and hope to add more 'relevant' ones :) Jess
ReplyDeleteMōrena Jess, yes the polls on Google Meet - there are other tools in there too, but I haven't yet felt the need to use those ones. Love that you are planning on being selective about the gadgets you add to your blog - there was a gadget that was quite popular a number of years ago, some goldfish swimming in a bowl. And while it looked pretty cute, had no purpose and just slowed down the loading of the blogs!
