A very interesting activity was the digital dig, great way to get students familiar with using the chrome browser. You can have a go at it here 2017 Digital Dig

Here is a copy of my own digital dig 

I-Pads
as today was about looking into the digital devices which our students use it was the junior teachers turn to show the seniors how its done. The 3 junior teachers shared 1 EE activity each (2 maths and 1 reading). I shared the "Keep trying" activity. Here is an are the EE which I completed.




Side note, I used embed to insert these videos. Much quicker than having to upload to Youtube.

Making meaning of content

Using Screencastify on a Chromebook

Sharing is about authentic audience and feedback

Your task is to choose ONE of these for a screencastify commentary

1. Sign into blogger and explore your learners’ blog statistics. Choose the child with the most views and record your thoughts about why they might be attracting views and the type of comments they receive
2. Read this on P18 about The 4 Fundamentals of Feedback to students With the doc open talk about one of the 4 points and give example/s of when you have done this with learners

Choose a blog post and discuss the type of comment you would leave on this post using the Manaiakalani feedback mantra “Positive, Thoughtful, Helpful’

TESOL PD - Run by me

I ran a workshop for the teachers at Glenbrae Primary as a series of PD session going over TESOL strategies to help support our students. My session was on how to use picture dictation and dramatised dictation to empower our students, particularly ESOL students in speaking, listening and reading. Have a look at the notes I created and shared with my colleagues below.

How am I going to use google keep and hangouts in my classroom?

I am looking forward to using google keep in my classroom by taking a picture of what i want to use and using the transfer tool to change it into text.

Google hangouts is going to be useful for organising meetings I cannot make or possibly organising reading times with their buddy classes.

Day 2, Digital Immersion Intensive

Today we looked at using google forms and google sheets to improve workflow.

We looked at many creative ways teachers have used forms and sheets in the classroom. One very interesting way we could use forms is creating a 'choose your own adventure'.

‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ Google Forms LInk to Google Training page Link to precise instructions on how to make the form Let’s take a look at the steps you would take to create Interactive Choose Your Own Adventure Google Forms: Make a plan for the possible paths Forms users can take (possibly in a Doc). Create and title a new form. Before adding questions, add new pages to your form. Use your plan to know how many pages you’ll need. Be sure to name and describe your pages. Go back to page one, and edit the first multiple choice question. Click the option labeled, “Go to page based on answer.” Use the option to guide Forms users to specific pages based on selected answers. Continue adding this type of question to all pages until your plan is complete. Learn more about the steps above in this Doc. Utilising Google Forms in this way can make differentiation possible. Check out how one teacher is using interactive Google Forms to differentiate the learning in her room in this blog post.

Another exciting way we can incoroporate sheets and forms into our learning is importing the information we gathered into other applications, such as google maps.

I created a form to find out where other people in the class want to go travelling. I used the information in the google sheet to import onto a map.

Here is the map of where we want to go travelling,

• What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy? I am looking forward to using google forms to gain more students voice in the classroom.
• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional? The different add-ons we used today with google sheets is going to greatly increase workflow. Some of the add-ons we looked at were flubaroo and rowcall.
• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life? Looking forward to using google sheets more in my personal life to organise big events.

Day 1, Digital Immersion Intensive

Today was the first day of the Manaiakalani Digital Intensive, The day's purpose was to familiarise ourselves with google docs, apps and Hapara.

I was able to take away a many new tools, which I will be able to use both inside and outside the classroom to accelerate my students learning and development. Including many of the tools which I have listed in my venn diagram below.
