Create - Staff Meeting

We joined Wesley Primary and May Road School to investigate the Create part of the Manaiakalani Pedagogy LEARN CREATE SHARE. 

I found this session informative and something I could take back to class and use. As we are constantly trying to get student to create their own way of sharing their learning, but are focussed on the get it done. This chart gives students and teachers alike the chance to pick how they present their learning.

Many of these activities student can do, and we can always give them the links and mini lessons to work out how to create it. 

As we had been doing mood in class I tried the incredibox, I do remember looking at this once before but could figure it out. Today I did it. 

I can't wait to encourage students to create a piece of writing and then setting the mood with incredibox.

Hapara Champ - Student Dashboard

 Welcome back,

Student Dashboard is our focus this week with Hapara Champions, something I have never used before, so for me, there was lots of learning and adjusting to make it work for me and my students.

It is a platform to share tasks, resources, expectations and more with students. Similar to how I share learning through my class site.  The one huge advantage I can see is that students can modify and adjust work before clicking submit. Once submitted or a task is closed off they can no longer submit their work, but they know it is handed in to be marked. Giving them a sense of accomplishment. 

The menu of the left again helps students find the tasks they need to start and do to the files link that shows students tasks they have started and need to finish.
