Day 6 Reflection
What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?
This week we focussed on connectivity as it is one of the Kaupapa Goals. Manaiakalani connects us to a powerful network, acknowledging the power of digital and it supports schools and teachers to connect with the learners and with each other.
Manaiakalani Programme is all about developing a learning community where all members are connected and empowered through a shared pedagogy, a shared understanding of the Manaiakalani Kaupapa and visible teaching and learning is foundational.
With Manaiakalani's kaupapa and pedagogy of Learn, Create and Share, Tuhi Mai Tuhi Atu empowers young people to be cybersmart and using our class blogging platform to build powerful connections across clusters.
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
After exploring a selection of class sites and getting feedback from my group about my site, I was able to make my homepage more visual appealing for the learners. I was able to work on the layout of my site and add more resources for inquiry learning and maths.
What did I learn that could be used with my learners?
Using the class class more often would be a great way to hook my learners for reading and inquiry. I would also encourage them to use the resources available on the site. Give the students an opportunity to explore the class site.
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?
I actually needed the time to work on my class site and now since it looks more visual appealing, it has reduced my workload.
Bula Shama, the work you did on your class site definitely made a difference. I hope your class are enjoying the new upgraded class site. I do agree that giving the students many opportunities to use the class site will be of great benefit to your workflow and their learning. Keep up the great work. See you on Thursday. Amy
ReplyDeleteTalofa Lava Amy, yes my students are really engaged and fascinated to see their photographs and the upgraded site. They really noticed the difference. Today they used the site for reading and used google drawing. My intention is to use the site everyday - tomorrow for reading and inquiry. Thank you for all your support. See you on Thursday.
