What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?
Today we have been learning about the fact that Manaiakalani want everything in the classroom to be visible.
I learnt today that Hapara has a parent portal.
To watch Manaiakalani's learn, create and share in action you can visit some classes on the Google Class on Air. Everything is live.
To learn how to make an effective Google Site there is a link at the bottom of this page...
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
Today I learnt how to create a Google Site. This will help with the visibility of the work I plan for my students. We learnt how important it was to make the site visually appealing for the kids so it lures them in and keeps them on task.
If you click on the link in my box - "Nikki's Pollination Page" you will be able to see the Google Site I made about pollination.

What did I learn that could be used with my learners?
I will definitely use the Google Site I made with my class later on in the term. It is still a work in progress at the moment.
I also learnt how to use Screencastify...I am hoping to use this as an assessment tool in the future instead of doing a 'Gloss' assessment on each and every child. I will show the children how to download Screencastify tomorrow and create a maths sheet tonight that they can record their workings on.
This is an example of what I might do with the class...
Kia ora Nikki,
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you took a lot out of session 5! I'm glad that you felt confident enough to share your pollination page, I'd love to see how your kids react to it. I'm sure they will love it. I like the variety of modes of information you have on your site. Did you embed the Google Drawing on your post? The link doesn't seem to be working properly. We can have a look at it on Wednesday if you'd like.
