Day 4 Reflections

 Day 4 Reflections

What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?

This week we looked at the sharing part of the Pedagogy. Sharing is all about making connections. During Lockdown, in just one month about 30,000 pieces of learning and posts were shared across the country. Last year's research data also showed that Manaiakalani students showed a progress in writing and it raised the achievement outcome. People have been sharing using a variety of social media. Sharing since the time began was done with one another, the school, the local community and now in digital age, sharing is done globally. 

Blogger has been chosen as a platform by Manaiakalani to share as it resembles the space our young people want to be on. It's the largest audience reach via Google. It is multi purposed and can be used by both teachers and learners. sharing has encouraged the students to blog more and share their work to a worldwide audience. Sharing is regarded as a starting point of new learning. It has helped learners to develop digital citizenship and it connect the leaners together.

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?

Creating a google form after completing a strand in Maths or inquiry would be a great help to help students understanding.

What did I learn that could be used with my learners, how could they use

Google my maps - My students are already using google my maps to connect to other schools (other students) but maybe I can teach them in detail how to add a layer or direction or  change the base map.

A the moment my learning are reading other students blog post and the comments so Quality blog comments could be helpful when they get to comment to other students blog posts. 

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?

Using Google sheets instead of creating a table in word document while preparing an analysis for Reading, Writing or Maths would be helpful.
