1. What increased my understanding of the Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy: The principle of Learn/Ako (RATE) is a great way of thinking about what we keep/throw out/modify/redefine in order to accelerate progress as we plan our learning programmes and change-up what we ask the kids to do and the learning experiences we offer to them.
I see that the recognition phase of effective practice (within Ako/Learn) is a really helpful approach to gather in and use the diverse strengths of the team I work in and lead because there IS diversity and when a school implements change or innovation it can feel threatening or demotivating if it feels like everything we used to do isn't any good any more. Embracing this diversity reminds us all that there is more than one way of being effective ... we can learn from each other.
It is also great to have the imperative of effective teaching as the bottom line (because sometimes some of what we used to do isn't that good any more) .... and then amplify and turbocharge using the many tools and resources available from the digital world.
2. What I learned that could increase my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional: I can't believe I set up a google meet, I recorded a meeting AND embedded a video without the trouble I expected to have ... Bring on rewindable learning!
I will also investigate google keep (and definitely the grab image text option ... no more retyping long quotes or extracts for me)
3. What I learned that could be used with my learners: I think all my learners already know how to embed things into other things - by the number of gifs that move before my eyes every time kids submit docs/slides/drawings or any time I open up their sites.
BUT me being able to embed video will help when it comes to options for rewindable learning ... this is definitely something that is missing from our Foundation Learning Site (which has WAY too much reading at the moment)
4. What I learned that could increase my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life: Now I know how to set up google meet I can be less of a passenger.
Kia ora anō Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI love how you are becoming more confident about using Google Meet as you are using it more frequently. It is always a buzz when it does what it says on the tin... without the technical hitches! Well done for embedding the recording - took me a few times to work that one out.
Ka pai Lisa. Great work with Google Meet this week. Now that you're confident embedding videos, Screencastify recordings are a great way to make learning rewindable on your site, especially if you're already aware of how much reading students are having to do.
