Day 4: Dealing with Data
What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?
Plus, I always find it brings purpose to creating - if there was no audience, the intention or purpose of creating seems lost. Why bother with creating, if no one is going to comment or consume the content I'm making?
I have noticed this in even my own practice in writing sessions, while at the end of each writing time the class comes down to the mat and shares their writing with a buddy next to them, and should they choose to - to the class.
That being said, finding an audience is not something that is passive - if students want to create and maintain an audience they need to constantly interact and provide content.
“The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you.”—B.B. KING
I also really related to the quote "Share to finish learning"
which got me to the realisation that sharing holds even me accountable.
When I have a date that I have to share a blog post by, or an assignment which needs to be in I get it done! With my students I can see this being so much better than the usual work that is in books, which sometimes, never ever seems to get finished.

What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional? What did I learn that could be used with my learners? 
I have used Google forms previously, but I have never created a form before. I had a lot of fun with using the different question types. I could definitely see me using google forms in the future to gather and collect student voice. I believe I could also teach my students to create their own google forms eventually.

My Map
I had fun exploring the my map feature on Google. I have my own map on my classroom wall where the cultures of students have been displayed using string. I would love students to explore their own maps digitally to see where their ancestry is from!
Google Sheets
Google sheets is something I use personally to help with my wedding budgeting. I hadn't used it for data analysis but I could see how the tools here could be beneficial in providing visual feedback when it comes to making charts etc. I personally struggle with anything that relates to numbers so at first I found this quite intimidating, but I was able to link the prior knowledge of excel to recognise formulas. Made me thankful that I had taken ICT during high school :).

Ciao Adriana,
ReplyDeleteWow, it looks like you had fun in DFI. So much creating! I agree that we need to work to have an audience so we can help one another and our learners in that. That's where the Manaiakalani network comes in.
I noticed your form is set to only your domain being able to view. You can change this in Settings.
Ngā mihi,
Maria
Kia ora Adriana,
ReplyDeleteIt was so much fun creating with you as part of the DFI day 4. You have created an awesome reflective blog post. Share to finish learning is something that resonates with me also. I can help you change your form permissions to allow it to be viewed.
Ngā mihi,
Latham
