Sharing

What have I tried this week and what has worked for me?

Getting the kids to use google docs e.g Writing.  I got them to share their docs with me. I showed some kids how to use explore on google docs and how to add a comment to give feedback and feedforward on each other's work.

What didn't work?

Copying and pasting on Grammarly.  But luckily a student helped me, though I need to write down the shortcut so I can use in future.

What could I try in future? Ideas from other teachers...

-Could look at Unsplash/Explore to look at the legal use of images?
- Cut the ends off plastic cups to help with using voice typing
-Get the Reader-writer app for editing
-Create folders on google drive for the kids work e.g Writing
- Use Voice typing for target writing group and get them buddies to give feedback/feedforward in the comment box on the right

Time to reflect and share with colleagues

• What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy? I learned more about the Learn, Create, Share framework through watching a video. Of how our schools can retain their Tino Rangatiratanga (autonomy) and meet the needs of their individual learning communities, whanau, and wider communities and yet have a remarkable coherence around the implementation of 'Learn'. Schools are able to 'unpack' what 'learn' means for their schools. The understanding of 'learn' promotes: raising student achievement outcomes, connectedness, ubiquitous learning, learners being empowered within the learning process, within their whanau and community, student equity and access for all learners.

• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional? I learned how to create a Google Sheet. I can use this sheet with my student's assessment data. Then I would be able to create a variety of graphs to show this information e.g pie, bar etc.

• What did I learn that could be used with my learners?  I learned how to create a Google form, which will help me to set work such as reading, writing and

  maths. I could also use these forms as a way to gather survey data to check in with students and

to get next learning steps.

• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life.  I learned how to create a Google map using Google Sheets. This I thought could be applied to planning for my international holidays. I could plot each place I would be travelling to, what I'll do there, where I'll stay etc.  I like that you can calculate the distance between each country and that you can manually add markers and add markers that are tailored to your needs e.g restaurants, Activities etc.
