Connecting with Manaiakalani

Google Hangout--> Anne Create

Create is about the hook, how do we hook kids into learning?

To create is to give students the opportunity to explore. It is a tangible way of learning and allows students to create to improve their metacognition. Students need the time to to explore and dive deep into learning. Forming original ideas and discovery. 
Creativity combine SiSoMo (sight, sound and motion)with innovation and imagination as well as accuracy and attention to the last detail. 

"Creativity focuses on the process of forming original ideas through exploration and discovery." -Kohl, 2008

Thinking comes from learning and learning comes from doing. 

Deep Dive

Live Streaming - Kent Somerville Live Streaming

Live streaming is a great way to connect with your tamariki and wider community. It allows everyone to be a part of what is happening within your kura in real time. There are lots of great pieces of technology that are useful in doing this (these can be found on the slides). Is it worth doing if it isn't worth sharing? 

Creating & Reflection

Today we had a lot of time to create. I chose to create an animation using google slides. This was a great opportunity to explore this tool and taught me a lot. I have been in classes where students have created animations using slides before but was not completely sure of what mahi had to be put in to complete the task. I have created a short animation about an Octopus going shopping. I will use this as an example of telling a story. The students will use this as an example to explain the stations of the cross in preparation for Good Friday. We will also watch a stop motion using lego showing this story which I have added onto my YouTube Channel Playlist. I loved how hands on this session was as we were able to make use of our new learning straight away and begin to think of how we can use it in our own practice.
