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>>>>>>>>>>
this is important.
Screencastify
Great learning here too will be making a video and uploading well done everyone.
Looks like you have been doing heaps of learning as part of DFI. It will be great when we have all staff having been part of this and being able to share our ideas.
ReplyDeleteHi Mark,
ReplyDeleteMissed you this week. It was good to read you post for session 6. I was away for this session. Reading your blog certainly helped me understand what I missed. You covered a lot in the last session: Hapara, CBs, Cybersmart,ipads and Dorothy's talk. Well done!
