Today's learning was based around devices, and managing them in the classroom context in a way that promotes the manaiakalani values and pedagogy. I found it very interesting to view familiar sites and slide decks on a chromebook, and see how differently they display.
Explain everything was a really good app to explore today. It was great to finally get a chance to use a working form of this program as it is not functioning in my classroom at the moment. I can see a huge variety of ways to use this within my classroom, and ways to use this without it adding a large quantity of work to my planning. It will be a fantastic addition in the toolbox for my students when recording and sharing their understanding and mahi.
It has been so valuable to have this learning from manaiakalani during our lockdown period. My students and their whanau have provided feedback to myself and the school how they felt connected, supported, and confident to find the learning both for the day and previous days content. I felt confident in providing rewindable content over the time period for students and whanau. Its good to know that i can hide the tab on my website so it doesn't clutter up the page, but is still available for future use if there happens to be a need for it.

Sarah,
ReplyDeleteGreat work with the Explain Everything tasks. Let's hope you get it going on your iPads so you can maximise their use.
Fabulous feedback from your students & whānau - that must have made you feel really good! DFI was very timely for you!
