Session 2 Digital Fluency Intensive

Today was another exciting day. We looked at hangouts, how to access through gmail, the App or through the calendar.

We then had the opportunity to be part of a group hangout using comments and google map.

Next we delved into the Manaiakalani pedagogy of learn, Create, Share with a focus on accelerated learning.

Ako:

This was looking at how in harnessing technology we are able to amplify our effective teachers practice. 

Recognise - Provide authentic texts

                Develop thinking critically and strategies

                Develop collaborating

                Provide more choices

Amplify  -   Getting ie. resources to help with learning for

                          example,Tki, NZ curriculum, Teachers pay Teachers …

              -    Giving ie. Sharing through blog/site

Turbo Charge - Provide students with the opportunity to unpack their learning

through clips, 

                                 Images, rewindable learning on site

Effective practice removal of barriers, opportunities

                                     For new ways of learning

We need to remember that each school will be different as we all have individual communities.

Gerhard then introduced us to Keep and all of its amazing features while also helping us  clean/organise our emails and calendar.

After lunch we were back to hangouts.

To help us become more proficient at this, we have used calendar, to set up 2 hangouts with members of our cohort during the week.
