DFI Day 3 MEDIA

Today's Topic was Media

What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?

                                              

There was a number of gems that I picked up today on Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy, as it was related to create and how it is important to bring out the creativeness in our learners and as teachers. Over 60 years ago - The heART of the Matter which has lead to "Creators of content, not merely Consumers" Here are a few of the key pointers for me in Dorothy's presentation.

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?           

 I learnt more about the protocols for using online videos, privacy, sites for kids, and the different ways of presenting either on YouTube, Google Draw and Google Slides as well as How to Live Stream.                         

What did I learn that could be used with my learners?                                                                                                 I want to be able to implement the animation which I had a first try at today in the Google Slides bubble. I think that once students have made their google slides presentations on their scienctific investigations they could put some of it into an animation. This way they are not only submitting a report but also being creative with their findings and having some fun with it.  The Google Draw is also another tool that I could and should use more of with my students but I need to plan plan PLAN.

 

 Workflow in My Personal Life                                                                                                      Transitioning from online learning in the past 6 weeks while we were in Lockdown was an eye opener and also learning in a different way which seemed to be the change of understanding how learners adjusted to not being at school and working from home. Personally I enjoyed the online learning and teaching from home but have had to adjust to the transitioning of returning to school where the workflow is slowly building up into pockets of activities and tasks on and offline. I think someone on the course said today that there wasn't enough hours in a day to complete everything. But I believe through effective planning and using the available tools somehow we will get there. Thanks to Dorothy and all the facilitators who presented and gave advice in today's sessions.  Easing the workflow in more ways than one!
