DFI - Day 8

 

Day 8

Chalk 'n Talk - Kerry (via Meet)

Computational Thinking

Digital fluent - comfortable and confident teaching online and taking it to another level - to know what to use and how to use it. Delivering effective teaching - When and why we use digital 

Digital Technology - can create new digital solutions.

• Teaching with digit is a collaborative environment with you as the teacher and the students.

• Programming so the students are designers.

• Rather than calling it coding change the word to programming - it widens the expectation of what the student thinks they can do or are capable of doing.
  
  
  

Empowered - Dorothy

• Money doesn't buy you happiness but it does buy you power
• The average wage for our local area is $19,000 p/a
• Technology is a tool BUT not just a tool - this is where the empowerment come from.
• Reflection is key when ensuring the work shared with the students is not only entertaining to keep their attention but also empowers them - this in return empowers you the teacher digitally.
• 5+ backwards and forwards conversation teaching the framework to increase their oral language - this also works in blogging (writing) to support them by harnessing the conversation in blogging. 

• 
  
  
• We all have a different ending to what empowering students is.

A recent example of empowerment is of a year 8 student in my maths group who came up to me when she had finished her work and said "thank you for making me smart Mrs Fisi'iahi".  She had been working on multiplication and understood the strategies she had been learning.  This had empowered her to the point where she was helping her peers with their learning of the strategies, therefore she in turn was empowering others.

Deep Dive - The Future of Tech - Jacob

• Will robots replace jobs or will they enable more creativity?
• We as educators are preparing our students for future jobs that don't currently exist yet.
• preparing students for a constantly changing future
• the need to upskill and become lifelong learners
• Moral dilemmas are might be a large challenge for future technology practices

Scratch 

• All jumping around characters are called sprites
• backgrounds are called stage
• movement is called motion
• game needs to start this is called an event
• operators are when we join things together eg do this and that will happen
• variables are something that holds numbers - things that can change

Day 7 

Devices

Being Cybersmart - Vicki

• A4 - any time, any where, any pace, any one
• Visible - personal and amplified

Ubiquitous - Dorothy

• most of the academic learning is done throughout the school day
• cultural and informal learning outside of the school day
• learning can be done all day
• rewindable learning - capturing what is the learner is learning so they can go back to it when they need to review their thinking
• paired shared thinking and castafy to utilise rewindable learning - if the learning experience isn't what you required for rewindable - delete it

• it's not ok to share one to one devices - every student must be able to use their own device
• 1-1 means every student has their own ipad with their name on it - not sharing

Ipads

• as a teacher you start using your computer to make the learning - do the work required on slides on your laptop then download the EE on your ipad - look that the slides can be seen on ipad.
• make your own video that shows students how to look after their ipad - kawa of care
• once a file has been saved on EE and goes to the cloud it has to be downloaded again to be repurposed - or it can be uploaded as a video.
• desktop version of Blogger does not look good on Ipads - blogger app has been designed to aid this

EE - is just an online whiteboard 

• you have to remember to tap what you want done - eg if you want part of a picture coloured in
• you can record your voice with the insert new and leave instructions next to something
• works like a slide dec - can add slide - tap the numbers and it gives you a preview and navigate between slides
• share as an image file if there is no movement or sound on it - or if there is more than one slide or sound/movement it must be shared as a video file

Reflecting on the Kaupapa of the Manaiakalani Programme in light of COVID 19 , and my readiness for ubiquitous learning...

• What are you proud of? That we had such an amazing online presence from our students and the amount and quality of work they produced was outstanding.

• What do you regret? That we didn't have multiple Google meet practices pre Covid.
