DFI - Day Two of New Learning...
The focus on the LEARN component of the Manaiakalani pedagogy.
The aim is to
Recognise
Amplify
Turbo charge
Effective Practice
The learning is transformed through redefinition and enhanced modification and through augmentation and substitution.
Perhaps the most important function of the Manaiakalani programme is the aspect of REWINDABLE Learning..students are directing and able to control their learning to a far greater degree and in greater detail than in learning environments that do not have the use of the technologies.
In my professional learning the use of hangouts will be a great tool! Joining professional learning hangouts and knowing the etiquette of this platform is going to aid me both in growing my capabilities and confidence. Using the Google keep is going to streamline my note-taking and ability to share information with my team. Also being able to manage multiple open tabs will be really helpful and time saving.
The learning from today in terms of being used by my learners is limited. I have a class of 19 N.E who are somewhat limited in terms of their literacy abilities at this stage.
The new learning will definitely impact my personal life, especially using multiple google calendars to keep track of both professional and personal commitments.
I am going to spend a bit of time investigating the Toby Mini and see how I can use this extension to share online resources and readings with my team.
As part of our day we did a combined hangout and had to record our sharing of a child's blog post, the learning behind it and how the comments enhanced the learning. Unfortunately Robbie and I had a few technical hitches with first the audio recording...which didn't work and then it failed to record the video on the second attempt! Doing a trial run is imperative so you know that all the correct boxes are ticked. We had to use an apple computer which neither one of us had driven before!
We thought that the hangout could be used to help lessen the number of meetings, to connect with others from the same departments across the country and share learning. The Manaiakalani toolkits are a good example of using the hangouts to increase teacher capability and confidence.

Kia Ora Cathy,
ReplyDeleteYou've made great progress funking up the visual aesthetics of your blog. I love the First Nations version of your Canadian flag in the background. It's great to read that you too are enjoying the wee shortcuts that will make your life easier & more efficient in your professional life. The use of google hangouts paired with a screen recording tool makes professional learning conversations rewindable :) Keep up the good work.
Hello Cathy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your reflections on the learning today especially the Google Hangouts. I can just see you in your pyjamas having a hangout about student learning. Great idea.
I love how you have created a rewindable learning resource through your blog post.
