Kia ora Koutou

Day 5 of Digital Fluency Intensive

I continue to learn more about the Manaiakalani pedagogy.

MANAIAKALANI -PEDAGOGY   VISIBLE

Making planning, teaching and learning, visible to everyone who has an invested interest -children, whanau, and colleagues- is important to create equal opportunity for all children to succeed. 

• We all learn in different ways and at different paces.
• Only some people are good at mazes or working out what the teacher is thinking. 
• Visible learning/ rewindable learning / allows for more children to feel success
• Seeing how other people have created a solution to the problem can motivate children to keep going or improve on their effort. 
• digital learning can also create barriers to learning by locking out whanau with passwords etc 
• Poorly designed learning can also a barrier for some children. 

There needs to be the discussion about what part of learning needs to be private. 

Multi Modal - Kerry Boyde Preece

I enjoyed this presentation. Comparing websites to the front display of a shop window provided a clear  image. Finding the hook for some of our learners in today's classrooms is as important as the actual learning. Helping to inspire and encourage all children and then make learning accessible is important. Multi modal sites can providing a vehicle that allows children to be empowered by their learning and learn at their own pace. Sites need to be constantly update for both the teacher and children. Sites can be an extension of the creators personality.

Google Sites 

I learnt so much today about creating a site. I can't wait to complete my Kaitiakitanga site and use it with my class. It was helpful today to have a look at different models of sites before we had to start making our own.  I enjoyed working collaboratively - an excellent example of the benefit of working as a team.  

I am going to add my site to this blog when I have finished it. Overall another successful day of learning.
