Welcome to my professional learning blog. I aim to share my learning experiences and how they help me to improve the classroom environment and how I teach. I look forward to seeing how my learning and development will impact on the acceleration of learning for my students.
After the Summer Learning Journey and completing a few of the tasks together, in December 2022. The Google Arts and Culture tasks really sparked my interest with the activities that developed ideas in music and visual arts.
The toolkit was well received and teachers had the opportunity to play with some of the more creative features.
Learning happens all the time how can we take advantage of that for Students?
We have just had the Ako Hiko Learn Create Share Staff Meeting with a focus on LEARN.
Phil took us back to the Kaupapa of Ako Hiko and Manaiakalani:
Connected | Rangitamiro, Empowered | Rangitū and our focus for the day
UBIQUITOUS | RANGIWHĀ & VISIBLE | ARIARI
We watched this clip.
During the second viewing, we had to identify blocks the team made so the returner could succeed.
With this in mind that the runner is the student and as teachers we are to stop or limit the barriers that hinder learning.
In order to make learning ubiquitous it needs to be rewindable, not just available online, but workable. So not just a list of questions where the book is at school. Maybe include a video on the same topic, and a copy of the book with audio so a student can listen if they prefer.
We had the opportunity to look at Class onAir and how teachers their make lessons rewindable for other teachers and students through their class site. A wonderful opportunity as you can search lessons for age or topic.
