What did I learn that increased my understanding of create within the Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy? I really appreciated the emphasis on students having the opportunity to play and explore and really let their imaginations run wild. It immediately made me write a list of items I wanted to purchase so that I have resources available for this creativity to develop. Playdough and lego will definitely be coming to Room 8 soon! Even in an Intermediate setting I know we often feel pressure to get the core teaching topics in and we forget about the benefits of exploration and play time.
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
Creating youtube playlists was a useful way to have all your videos for a topic at your finger tips. I can see this as being particularly useful with sharing with students in the classroom to keep them focused where I want them, but also for sharing with staff rather everyone spending time searching for the same resources.
What did I learn that could be used with my learners?
Embedding youtube clips in slides will help to keep them focused and on task, rather than be distracted by the other videos popping up on the screen. I am planning to set up google slides with number strategies with the support video on the first page and examples for them to practise that strategy. The final steps will be for students to create their own Screencastify to share their working of an example using the strategy to prove their confidence. This could then be added to their blog.
Also looking to have a go at pick a path stories with my students. Started playing around with linking buttons on slides to different slides.
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or work flow in my personal life?
Using google slides to set up strategy support for my students that will be rewindable learning will be of benefit to me in the future as I will be able to go back and draw on these in the future and share these with my staff in my role of Maths Lead Teacher for my school.

Hi Dom!!
ReplyDeleteWithout a doubt the most power thing that I took away from today's session was how to embed a video! I am thinking back to all of the things that I have done over the years, and how much time I could have saved if I known how to do this!
Love your idea to support your students with google slides and being able to share that out to staff would become an invaluable asset in the near future!!
Thanks for the help with the redesigning of my page, it was a great help!!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts following our session on Create Dominique and I'm glad you came away inspired even with a shopping list of items to engage your students. 😊
ReplyDeleteIt could be an interesting task to identify the opportunities you offer students already to Create and then see where those activities fit within the SAMR model. I'm sure you doing a number of things already that 'hook' students in but it would an interesting reflection even for your own inquiry to look back on at the end of the year and see how far you've shifted their learning experiences by focusing on creating.
