Digital Fluency Immersion 7 with visible learning and development.

Today Kerry had us thinking, and working on, our sites and blogs, and also using forms to give feedback to our colleagues and several selected other school sites. We met Clarelle Carruthers Yr 3  teacher Pt England School. She has been most encouraging and supportive imparting her knowledge and skills for a range of areas of digital learning including key values and skills for setting up, designing and making our websites visible / child centered. Below is a video that Clarelle shared where her students could talk about how they navigate and access their learning site.

I learned how to plan and organise better the layout of my website including placing buttons on my site to locate our learning pages easier. It was good to be able to spend some quality time on our sites and blog. Thanks also to Donna for your support in this area.

Digital Fluency Immersion 6 with Visible and Multi Modal learning.

Today we learned about Visible Teaching and Learning which is a kaupapa that allows the learner, access to every aspect of learning from planning to assessing. Students will be clear about, 'What we are learning, the process and progress of that learning and the outcomes and next steps for every student. We also learnt about 'Multi Modal', which defines the use of many tools to help and support learning.

We were learning to use coding programmes. Computational thinking,  

planning, implement and share. Great for both the competitive and non-competitive.

The Hour of Code challenge has been completed and certified.

Definitely engaging and challenging for the mind. The KEY ?
Re_d  the inst_ _ctions carefully. 👩LET'S DO THIS MY STUDENTS!

Digital Fluency Immersion 5 with Google Slides Animation

My first attempt with the smiley faces shows each step without removing each face before the next. The second attempt shows the same process as the first while removing the last picture slide after inserting the next. WOO HOO ! Now to implement in the classroom.

Digital Fluency Week 3

Re-visiting Digital Dig with students supported those students new to chromebooks an opening to learn, try and develop their knowledge and navigation skills. It was also interesting to see how other students were able to recognise what they already knew and also to identify areas of skill new to their learning. I am happy to say that this exercise was empowering to all students including my own upskilling of digital fluency.

 

This is my first attempt at screencastify. Learning with screencastify webcam on how to group students in Hapara. I can see how empowering this will be in areas of modelling learning for students. We hope to use this to present our digital learning outcomes at our school assembly.
