Day 8 RPI Creating

By -

 This week's catchup was on Creating. There were a number of tools that we looked at and some that we have been using in class. It is always helpful to use digital tools to enhance the work of our learners so that they can see the power of digital tools and what a difference it can make to have a page of words to a page of words and images.

                            

Periodic Table Multimodal

Here is a link of one of the tools that we use in Science for our Year 10s.


The other good way of understanding how learners can be creative is by knowing where these tools fit and their purpose which can lead to the element on fun in a number of quizzes at the end of a unit or topic.



As we were looking at the various examples on Class on Air it was noted that this could be a good way of sharing some our science multi modal lessons that we have in our Science Classes made by our very own science teachers.

Please to know that through continued reading in classes learners are able to be creative with the various tools when it helps them to show their understanding in a different way of enhancing their text to show and infographic, image, video, book etc. All contribute towards learning. Thanks Kiri for taking the time for this catch up lesson. Ngā mihi.

Today's Blog was titled Revision. Time out was taken to reflect on where we had come from, the various gems we had picked up on the way and the whole journey with the Manaiakalani Facilitators throughout this nine week course of Digital Fluency. This was once again demonstrated in our Digital Bubbles where we were able to feedback on what had worked well over the week including any difficult areas of concern. Following this we had a presentation of the Manaiakalani Kaupapa on Ubiquitous by Dorothy.   The message which I received from this presentation is that life long learners need digital devices to tap into learning about anything and everything. There are a variety of resources and tools which can accompany ones learning if we all but use what is available and learn from the different aspects and experts who live and breathe this methodology and pedagogy. And from the slide it shows: The rest of the morning was focussed on sitting the Google Exam which was very inten...

Today after karakia and sharing our WWW with Digital bubble members we listened to more of the Manaiakalani pedagogy - CONNECTED. "Connected is a way of life for our students. Take it from them and they will check out." The LEARN CREATE SHARE goes with the CONNECTED UBIQUITOUS  VISIBLE  EMPOWERED. Something which I have learnt and applied to my learners is how to make buttons for my Reading Page. I did get stuck on how to shape the picture once I had copied it onto the Google Draw page however thanks to facilitator Nicola who explained how I had words on my picture which meant I hade to click on the picture only, and then go to the drop box beside the crop symbol which enabled me to find the circle shape and click on that. Once I was able able to create my buttons I decided to rename my Reading Groups to Kea Roopu, Kiwi Roopu and Tui Roopu. I added the list of names to each group. Once this was completed I sorted out the 9 weeks of Reading activities which have...
