Day 2 Workflow

Day 2: Manaiakalani Workflow

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

I really enjoyed hearing about how the process of learn, create and share can enhance the relevance of new learning, facilitate shared learning by providing opportunities for students to communicate and interact with their classmates - and even possibly students around the globes.

"Technology enables removal of barriers, previously inconceivable solutions to problems, opportunities for new ways of learning"

We learnt about R.A.T.E and how we would be moving from an analogue world into the digital world.

RECOGNISE

AMPLIFY

TURBOCHARGE

EFFECTIVE PRACTICE

The presentation also had me thinking about how learning looks like in our school -

The question that was made was would the values of the school be shown in every class if someone was to walk into them? 

I honestly believe so, with a twang of differences between our bilingual units, mainstream and different levels - but i believe the fundamentals are engrained in our school, but I think this would also make a great discussion in our school meetings.

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

Google Keep

Learning about Google keep was really awesome - I really loved the idea of having a place where I can keep images of things that I am inspired by for my class and resources, I also love the idea of taking photos.

I also loved the idea of reminders - especially to remind you when you reach a certain point on your map.
To remind you to talk to someone at work or have access to the grocery list every time you pass by your grocery store.

Gmail

Making my own signature was really cool, especially because I have always wanted to make one but never really knew how. I know now moving forward that I can play around with this feature and maybe even add a signature to my personal email account.

Embedding Videos

What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  

Google Keep

Voice Memos!

This will really good for recording my students and maybe even getting them record their own learning when they are working independently.

Image to text

Looking at the image to text function, I could see this as being really helpful for my students to use as activities. Maybe story starters? Editing and adding their own thoughts on parts of the sentences? Just thinking about it now has me having multiple ideas. 

Google Meet

If there was a moment where Covid did effect us again in the future, or if I wanted to have a session with my students that needed some extra help at home I could use Google Meet.

During my time on google meet I realised my computer did not give me access to screen recording so I had to trouble shoot and make sure the permissions were accepted before it finally worked.

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

Google Meet - meetings

Google Keep - Keeping myself organised and even to be used as a virtual diary

Google Calendar - really good for keeping my updated on what I have coming up in my life and also including my friends and family into the calendar.
