DFI Week 6 Devices

1. Connecting with Manaiakalani - Dorothy

What has been working or not.
Main focus has been to keep using Workspace and Website integrating planning will be the next link, some issues to do with transparency and how we keep ourselves secure. This also has some ramifications regarding how we are exposed to vilification from parents who may disagree with or be critical of what is a normal working environment.

Being Cybersmart WHY CYBERSMART?
Using powerful proactive language to promote cybersmart.

Creating an environment that is professional and a mature process to teach students how to operate in an online environment. The curriculum (Cybersmart) was designed to be implemented from year 5.

Google be internet awesome. (Googles response to negativity around the internet).

The Love U Give focus on positive internet education.

Hapara Dashboard

Next session is about Hapara Dashboard hmmm this was good in that it gave people an overview of Hapara. However it would have been great to set up a trial class for pweople to access so that teachers without a hapara class or support educators could work through Hapara and have a hands on experience with this product. To be honest Hapara in itself could be several weeks of learning.

Manaiakalani 1:1 Journey

Chromebooks

The technology changes from year 1 to 13 ipads to chromebooks, but the language is ubiquitous for example create a title, save to drive, edit reformat etc.

Devices should be fluid, for example some senior students may require ipads for learning instead of chromebooks.

Digital Dig (learning how to sue the device ....efficiently....)should be included at the beginning of EVERY level and year.

Had a hands on session doping the digital dig great fun doing what my kids did at the beginning of the year.

IPAD

Year set up
assign different gmails to students set THE SAME password
assign devices to students
assign pens to students
label devices

Students intro to Kawa of Care

Whole term to learn how to use devices.
easy way to do this learn ipad skill lesson as part of normal lesson eg maths then they can practice skill all week in curriculum areas eg copy and paste work.

Assign only apps the students will use on ipads home screen and LOCK SCREEN LANDSCAPE

Start with basics all through EXPLAIN EVERYTHING.
create a project.

label
then use whiteboard to create learning, not too many boards in project as this takes too long to load.

GO THROUGH 1:1 IPAD PRESENTATION WITH ALL JUNIOR SYNDICATE>>>>>>>>>>

Title Creating a Quality Blog Post

Intro; REALLY EXCITED about blogging with my class

WALT create a quality blog post.

Description DLO; How can I show that I have understood what makes a quality blog post? Today with Whaea Donnas help we created in our Google drives a poster using Google Draw. The poster had to describe the main things we have to include in a blog post.
1. Title that was catchy.
2. Embed a DLO (digital Learning Object)
3. Describe our DLO and how we created it.
4. Explain what I learned.
5. Reflect on my learning and where I can go after this.
6. Create a Question so that people will comment on my blog.

Explain what you learned about; I learned that there are 6 key elements to creating a quality blog

Reflection; Today was great I learned a whole lot about blog posting, the key part for me was learning how to scaffold my students so they are successful.

Question; How could I create a template that would enable my students to interact and create blog posts quickly and efficiently.

Visibility
This is about the understanding that the  TEACHING AND LEARNING is visible to all particularly whanau. Visibility to students, whanau, teachers and community.

Learning traditionally encompasses a pathway that is a bit of a magical mystery tour for all concerned, success in education generally involved students coming to school with cultural capital that programs children to understand how and what makes you successful at school.

MANAIAKALANI: The intentional use of technology to make teaching and learning visible.

Bio-data, some assessment, behavioral data, should not be visible but the process and planning stuff should be visible.

Student learning should be re-windable and allow students to front-load as well.

2. Deep Dive Exploring a selection of class sites.

Interesting and informative, the task structure allowed me to break down and think about some of the design elements critical to a successful site. The main thing I got out of this was the importance of simple obvious navigation and what is the visual appeal of your site. Another thing I noticed is what does your site say about you as a teacher and your class, does it represent a formulaic or innovative approach to teaching and learning. How much input do the students have regarding the makeup and information on the site.

How would you make your class site a shop kids and adults would like to visit, is it a shop that appeals to ALL types.

Great korero about sites with Whaea Gaylene

Visible, Learning at Home, Collaboration, Rewindable, Motivation.

KEY IDEAS FOR SITE DESIGN

PURPOSE.....what do you want your site to actually do.

PLANNING YOUR SITE.......needs to be a coherent design

THEME AND DESIGN........colour layout font.

THE THREE CLICK RULE.........people need to get what they want quickly and easily.

BUTTONS........can the students read?

CAROUSEL........Interactive imagery.

TIMETABLES..........When it is happening.

TIP FOR THE DAY

SHIFT Z to put files in more than one place but are linked and will be updated from whichever copy is being worked on.

Lots of redoing today but the goals were to make sure;
1. that all my links worked......checked and sorted, workspaces shared publicly.
2. made the website visible........reworked sharing settings, link in school website.
3. Check workflow so that minimal clicks for information.......working on this. but most info is easily accessible.
