For our school, it seemed easy as we were connected to Kootuitui ki Papakura, an outreach of Manaiakalani. Our students in Year 3-6 had devices to use for learning and the Learn Create Share pedagogy to engage this learning. Our students also had an audience through their own Blogs.
For our Junior School, students relied on their parents to assist with technology and support the sharing aspect of the pedagogy, sharing their learning on a class blog.
The journey begins with our Junior Teachers, planning for Distance Learning and learning LOTS about the concept of Blogger.
It was an awesome session, watching the growth as the team learnt more about the tools that will be available to them during this time and how they can best use them to support our junior students and more importantly, showcase the learning activities that they completed within their bubble.
This is a great opportunity to look at one of the class blogs and see how the data paints a picture of interest and engagement during this time.

I am loving reading your posts as they come through Lou, it is clear that you are really immersing yourself in the DFI and applying your knowledge throughout your sphere of influence. Your virtual library looks like a very inviting place, how would you use that with learners?
ReplyDeleteThank you. Initially it was just to support my Distance Learning but on reflection and after today's session, I could use it for Multi-Textual tasks or put it on the Library Blog to showcase new books.
