What did I learn that increased my understanding of Create within the Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?
The following points resonated with me within the LEARN (about Create) session.
You cannot create until your have first LEARNT and have something in your kete that you want to share with others.
Create = allowing our young people to be creative human beings as part of the learning process by using the affordances of technology to do things that they could not do without it and would not have been able to do in the past.
It is NOT simply creating a piece of writing on a doc or slide (which just replaces writing in a book).
It's choosing the BEST way of doing things, if pen and paper is the best way to do this then still do this!
Learning about the tools and tips today will enable me to be more confident and competent in using them and exploring these tools with the students in my class to allow them to respond to their learning in creative ways.
I continue to learn little time saving tips which will help me with my workflow such as that I can copy and paste straight from the snipping tool and I don't have up save and then upload.
The tip about how links can be added to specific parts of images or photos without the need for a text link was great.
One thing we learnt how to do was create animations in Google Slides, here is my one.
Through animations I also tried out a digital Pepeha and worked on one which is our school pepeha and then also a single side about my own family with animation.
Pepeha is something we will be working on in the last few weeks of this term and I will definitely share and try out a digital version with my students.
I still need to learn about Youtube. How to create different channels and embed so that students only have access to the videos that I select for them and cannot access wider youtube.
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?
The more we talk about it the more I feel that it would be worthwhile to explore having different 'people' set up on my computer so that I have a 'work' persona and a 'home' persona rather than having it all on one.

What did I learn that could be used with my learners?
There were multiple things that I tried today which I would like to try out with my learners, this will however take time!One thing we learnt how to do was create animations in Google Slides, here is my one.

Love the animation! Such violence
ReplyDeleteWow, Veronica I am so impressed by your slide animation. You have inspired me to try again! There has been a lot to practise from this week's session.
