 DFI - Wk #9

"Revision"

E hoki atu ana ngā mahara ki te tīmatanga o taku hoe, i taku whakatere i te waka DFI ki te moana o Manaiakalani, e tupou ana te māhunga ki ngā kaihautū o te waka i ārahi i ā mātou ngā kaihoe kia ngātahi te hoe ki te ake ake o te ao matihiko! Ahakoa i haukerekeretia te waka e ngā ngaru tupuhi, i ngā ngaru tūātea, ka tapatahi ngā whakaaro ki ngā tini akoranga i whāngai i roto i ngā wiki e iwa kua pahure.

I tīmata te rā ki te kauhau nā Dorothy mō te "ubiquitous". Tē mārama i a au te tikanga o te kupu nei, engari nā wai nā wai ka kitea tōna whakamahinga i te horopaki o te ako, arā, "Life long learning anywhere, anytime, at any pace by anyone. Living local, learning global..."

HE AROTAKE

• NGĀ MEA I WHAI HUA:

• He nui ngā akoranga i mau i a au, ā, i whakahoki atu ki te akomanga ki āku tamariki. He rawe te Google Drawing, Google Slides, te whakapai haere i taku Pātaka Kukara (Google Drive), te whakahaere i taku wāhi īmera mahi tae noa mai ki taku ako me pēwhea te pōhi ki taku rangitaki!

• NGĀ AUHEKETANGA:

• I tūpono au ki ētehi uauatanga i taku haerenga ako matihiko; pēnei i te mau i ngā āhuatanga whakahaere o te Google Slides me te reo tuhi waehere. 
• I te mea kāore au e kaha te whakamahi i ēnei taupānga i te akomanga, i te kāinga rānei, ka whakarerea. Heoi, i mau tonu i a au ētehi mōhiotanga kāre i mau i a au i te tīmatanga o taku ako i ēnei kaupapa huhua.

• TE AHU WHAKAMUA:

• He ara mutunga kore tā tātou e takahia ana, me pēwhea rā hoki e tūtaki i te tatau o te ako? Maringanui ana tā mātou mirumiru i te momo o te pūkenga o Makaore, nāna mātou i ārahi, i ako, i poipoi i roto i ngā tini akoranga i ngā wiki e iwa nei.
• He tangata manawanui, he manawaroa e whakaaro nui ana ki te kaupapa o Manaiakalani me ōna tini hua mō ngā tamariki e noho marara ana i te mata o te whenua.

HE KUPU WHAKAMUTUNGA

Hei whakakapi ake i aku kōrero ki tēnei, ki taku pōhi whakamutunga mō te kaupapa, e rere arorangi ana aku mata ki te pīnakitanga o te maunga taioreore o te hangarau matihiko. He rite tonu ki te maunga e kake ai te tangata i ōna taumata; he akoranga hou, he taumata i piki. Kei pōhēhē ahau kua tae ki tōna tihi, kua mau i a au ngā akoranga hei whakamau māku - e hē! Heoi anō, ko te ara i takahia, i pikitia ai e riro ai ngā hua o te ako, he tīmatanga noa iho tēnei i taku haerere haere i te ao matihiko e noho nei tātou.

Kei ōku hoa ako i tō tātou mirumiru reo Māori, me poho kereru tātou i ā tātou mahi! Nōku te maringanui i whirinaki au ki tētehi rōpū noho pūmau ana ki te reo Māori. Nā koutou au i morimori, i whakakata, i āwhina me kore noa e tau mai he māramatanga ki ngā tini kaupapa i whāngai mai ki a tātou. 

Hoake tātou me tā tātou tohu matihiko ki te anamata, whītikina ā tātou hoe kia wāhi ai ngā wai uriuri o te moana nui.

Kāti au i konei!

"Te tuhura i ngā tuhinga waehere"

E tauhou katoa ana ahau ki te reo tuhi waehere. Heoi, kua kite au i ngā hua pai i taku mātakitaki i a Makaore e whakahaere ana, e whakaako ana i ngā akoranga tuhi waehere ki te taha o tōku reanga i te kura ki te kēmu, Minecraft. 

He reo rerekē rawa, ānō nei ko te reo kōrero tonu o te rorohiko. Ka patohia ngā tohutohu hei reo waehere, ā, ka ea ai te mahi e pīrangitia ana.

I noho tahi ki a Makaore ki te waihanga i tētehi tuhinga waehere mā te code.org. Me pēnei taku kōrero, nā wai ka hē ka tino hē rawa atu! I raru hoki taku hono atu ki te ipurangi nā te pōturi rawa o te iarere, nā konā raru ai taku whakaatu i āku mahi ki tōku hoa. Heoi anō, ahakoa te roa o taku noho ki te whakaoti i taku tuhi waehere, i te mutunga iho, i tau ki a au tētehi mōhiotanga hou kāre i a au i te tīmatanga o ngā mahi, ka mātua rā i tēnā!

Anei he hononga ki āku mahi: Dance Party

"Devices"

Mā te āta whakaako i ngā tino uaratanga o te tū atamai i te ipurangi e tino haumaru ai te tangata i tāna tuhura i te ipurangi, otirā kia tika ai ngā kōwhiringa a te kaituhura. Mā te aha i te noho ki te wānanga me aku tamariki i te kura i ngā tino uaratanga o te tū atamai i te ipurangi me ōna piki me ōna heke. Koinei i whakaturia ai e ngā kura te Kawa Tiaki, hei tiaki i te ākonga i tāna noho ki te ao matihiko. Koinei hoki te tīmatanga ki te whakamahi i ngā pūrere matihiko, me pūrangiaho te māramatanga o te ākonga me te pouako ki ngā mātāpono, ki ngā tikanga whakahaere kua tuhia ki te Kawa Tiaki, me kore noa e tūpono ki ngā raruraru i te ao matihiko.

E whakaako ana ki ā mātou tamariki kia pai tā rātou waiho i ā rātou tapuwae matihiko mō rātou, ā, mō ngā rā kei te heke tonu mai. Ki konei, me kaha hokihoki ngā pouako ki te wānanga i ngā kōrero o te Kawa Tiaki, kei warewaretia, kei kōtiti ngā ākonga i tā rātou tuhura ki te ao matihiko.

"KARIA TE KARINGA MATIHIKO"

Ngā pātuhi pokatata pukakita

I noho mātou mō tētehi wāhanga nui i te rā nei ki te aro ki ngā pātuhi pokatata mō ngā pukakita me ngā rorohiko āporo. He akoranga nui ēnei māku, otirā kia mātua mōhio ai te pouako ki ēnei huarahi "poto" e pai ai te āwhina atu i ngā tamariki i roto i ngā akomanga. 

Ki te whakaaro ahau ki ngā tamariki kei taku reanga ināianei, hika, ko rātou kē kei te whakaako mai ki a au me pēwhea!

Anei e whai ake tētehi hononga ki ngā mahi nō te rangi nei, Ngā pātuhi pokatata pukakita.

Tōku Hoa Piripono

 Tōku Tino Hoa

Ko ________________ te ingoa o tōku tino hoa, o tōku hoa piripono. Kua roa māua e noho ana hei hoa, mai i te wā i tīmata ai māua i te Kōhanga Reo, ā, tae noa mai ki tēnei wā ki te Whānau Huia.

He kaha nō māua ki te noho tahi, kōrero tahi, tākaro tahi, otirā te whakawhanaunga tahi. He wā tōna ka haere mai a _________________ ki tōku whare, ā, ka noho tahi. Ka eke i ō māua paihikara, a, ka paihikara ki tātahi, ki te awa i ngā rā paki. Kātahi ka haere ki te toa whiti tipi, hokona mai he kai mā māua.

Ka kaha tōku hoa ki te whakarongo ki ōku whakaaro me āku kōrero, ā, kāore hoki ia e noho mai ana ki te whakawā i a au. Kei reira ia mōku i ngā wā o te taumaha, i ngā wā o te hari, i ngā wā e pōuri ana tōku ngākau, ka whakapiki ia i tōku wairua. Ki a au nei, koinei te tino pūmanawa o te hoa pūmau - ka tautokona koe ahakoa te aha.

DFI WK #6 - ENABELLING ACCESS SITES

Ko tētehi tino painga o te rangi nei, ko te whai wā ki te whakapaipai, ki te whakarākei i tō mātou ake paetukutuku kura. Ahakoa kei te "āhua mōhio" ahau ki te whakahaere i taku paetukutuku, he pai tonu te whakarongo ki ngā kōrero ā ngā mātanga me tō rātou mōhiotanga ki ngā ara e pai ai tā mātou whakatakoto mahi ki ngā paetukutuku.

I tirohia ētehi atu paetukutuku o ētehi kura o te motu me te arotake i ngā painga, i ngā āhuatanga hei whakapai ake i te noho o ngā mahi ka whakaaturia ki te paetukutuku. Nō muri mai, ka hoki atu ki ā mātou 'mirumiru' ki te matapaki i aua āhuatanga rā.

Muri mai i te wā whakatā, ka tonoa mātou e tō mātou kaiārahi, a Makaore, ki te hoki ki tā mātou ake paetukutuku me te whakapaipai.

DFI - Wk #5 - Collaborate Sites

 DFI - Wk #5 - Collaborate Sites

CONNECTING WITH MANAIAKALANI - VISIBLE

• Ka kitea rānei kāore rānei? Can you see it or not?
• Is it visible to kids, teacher, can whānau access info? How can we learn from our colleagues?
• One sign of success is when the student has the ability to read the teachers mind. I have a few students in my class that can very quickly interpret and foresee my intentions and learning objective for a lesson, to a point where they are finishing off my sentences - SUCCESS!!!
• Visible teaching - no surprises! People have'equity'. 

DEEP DIVE - MULTI MODAL

• Multi modal communication:
• The purpose is delivering a communication directly to another person
• This can be done using multiple modes:
• Smoke signals > pigeon post> letter > airmail > email > telegram > fax > text > snapchat > facebook live streaming, facetime etc 
• All these modes work!
• Some are more efficient.
• Some get the message across in more depth
• Some get the message across more quickly
• The recipient may have preferred modes eg Granny might prefer a letter or Facetime, and refuse Snapchat!

• The concept of multi modal learning is tied to four high priority principles in the Manaiakalani programme - and it is worth taking time to connect with this before we begin creating Sites for learning. These are:

• Engagement

• Empowerment

• Acceleration

• Personalised learning

• The homepage of my Classroom Site needs to be dynamic, accomodate all learners, hook the students straight away with an array of colour, pictures, exciting links that will engage my students straight away.
• My home page needs to look busy that is user friendly and easily accessible to students, teachers and whānau.

INTRODUCTION TO GOOGLE SITES - VICKI

• Tino pai ana ki a au ngā kōrero a Vicki e pā ana ki ngā paetukutuku Kūkara, ahakoa kua waia kē ahau me pēwhea te whakahaere i taku whārangi o te akomanga.
• Ko tētehi akoranga nui, i mua rawa i tō tīmata ki te whakairi mahi ki tō paetukutuku, me āta whakamahere i ngā kōrero ka whakairihia, ka pēwhea hoki te takoto, te whakaatu i aua mahi.
• Me hopu tō whārangi i te kaipānui i tāna taenga tuatahi atu ki tō whārangi, nō reira me miharo, me pīataata, me auaha!

He nui rawa ngā akoranga i te rangi nei, ko te painga atu i whai wā roa mātou ngā pouako ki te waihanga i tō mātou ake paetukutuku mō MATARIKI. Nā te mahi tahi i ea ai te whakatinanatanga o te aronga nui, arā, kia waihangatia tētehi Google Site.

MATARIKI

 NGĀ MAHI O TE RĀ

Kātahi te rangi whakahirahira ko tēnei! He rangi whakahirahira i te mea e whakaahuangia ana te kura katoa me ō mātou whānau.

I te taenga mai ki te kura i te ata, ka karakia tō mātou akomanga, ā, ka rere ngā pānui me ngā whakamārama a Matua Whatu. Ka whakamārama a Matua Whatu i te wātaka o ngā reanga ka whakaahuangia.

He tikanga tā te kaitango whakaahua kia whakarārangi ngā tāngata katoa o te akomanga e ai ki tō mātu tāroa. Ka tata ki te wā kia haere atu ki Te Pikinga Poutama, ka whakarārangi a Matua i a mātou kia tū mai, ā, ka raupapa haere i a mātou anō. Kātahi ka tae mai tētehi karere kia haere atu ki te Wharekura kia whakaahuangia.

Te taenga atu ki te tomonga o Te Pikinga Poutama, ka tohua mātou e te kaitango whakaahua kia whakarārangi anō i a mātou anō, kātahi ka tonoa mātou ki ō mātou wāhi noho kia rite ki te whakaahua.

Ka miharo ahau ki ngā taputapu, ki ngā rama, ki ngā taonga a ngā kaitango whakaahua, inā hoki te nui! 

Ka whakanoho i a mātou kia noho ki ngā wāhi. He hātakēhi ngā tohutohu a te tangata rā, otirā he ngāwari rawa te reo kōrero ki a mātou. Ka rite te tū, ka tohua ia kia titiro whakamua te katoa ki a ia e mau ana i te kāmera, ā, ka kōrero mai, "Titiro mai". Mea rawa ake, ka rarapa ngā rama, ka kapohia tō mātou whakaahua.

Nō muri mai i te whakaahua o te akomanga, ka noho takitahi ki te whakaahua i ngā mea takitahi. Ā, muri iho mai ko ngā whakaahua whānau.

He rawe ngā whakaahua, ā, e hīkaka ana te ngākau kia kitea te hua o ngā mahi a te mutunga o tēnei wāhanga a te wā ka tae mai ngā whakaahua.

 DFI - WK #4 - DEALING WITH DATA

HE WHAKARĀPOPOTO:

Ko te tino aronga o ngā kōrero i te rā nei, he whakaatu i ngā kohinga raraunga. E rua pea ngā tino taupānga kūkara i kōrerotia, i whakamahia, arā ko te Google Forms me te Google Spreadsheets. 

Connecting with Manaiakalani - SHARE:

• Kōrerotia ai a Dorothy i te wāhanga o te TOHATOHA
• Share with a purpose; know your audience and who you're writing for. 
• E whakaaro tonu ana ahau ka pēwhea taku whakamahi, te whakatinana i ngā akoranga me taku māramatanga ki te hītoria o Manaiakalani.
• Ka pēwhea taku ako, taku waihanga, taku toha i ngā mōhiohio, i ngā akoranga ki aku tamariki i te kura.

Kaupapa #1: Google Forms (Vicki)

• Ka tau kē ngā kōrero a Vicki e rāweke ai i tēnei taupānga. Ahakoa kua whai wā kē ahau ki te waihanga i tētehi Google Form i ngā tau o mua, ehara i te mea e taunga ana taku mōhio ki ngā āhuatanga katoa o te Google Forms, kei te ako tonu ahau. Heoi anō, ko ngā kōrero hou i mau i a ahau, he mea āwhina.

Kaupapa #2: Google My Maps (Maria)

• Customisable collobarative maps allow the user to track or plan journeys, measure distances and add place markers. This is particularly good with my kids if I wish to mark out the marae that my students are from on a map and they can see where in Aotearoa their marae are and their respective rohe.
• 
  
• 
  

Kaupapa #3: Google Sheets 101 (Vicki)

• Google Sheets is great for displaying data
• I learnt how to use a formula to work out a SUM of data I collected and the formula automatically works out the problem for me.
• This is helpful for me working through my budget with my partner at home and my personal banking.

Kaupapa #5:

DFI - Wk #3

Kātahi rā hoki te rangi nui! Kī rawa ana taku kete i ngā tāhua kai i horahia mai ki te tēpu matihiko i te rā nei, mai i ngā kōrero taketake o Manaiakalani, ki Tiriata, ki ngā kaupapa pāpāho, tae noa ki te whakaaturanga pepeha, kua purena taku kapu!

Kāti, kia hoki ai au ki ngā mahi huhua o te rā, me uaua te tautuhi i tētehi akoranga kotahi hei whakaarotanga, hei whakahokinga mahara māku. Me pēnei pea te kōrero, tā te rangataria kai he kōrero! He nui ngā akoranga māku hei whakahoki atu ki te kura me āku tamariki. 

E rārangi iho nei ki raro nei ko ngā kaupapa akoako o te rā me ngā taipito kōrero e whakarāpopoto ana i aua kaupapa rā:

KAUPAPA #1: Manaiakalani Pedagogy

• CREATE is all about the hook. 
• Creative skills help students become better problem solvers, communicators and collaborators.
• Expose children to creative experiences, this gives them 'the gift of a rich and memorable childhood while laying the foundation for a lifetime of creative expression'.

KAUPAPA #2: YouTube

• Learnt about the protocols for online learning and its relation to accessing and uploading content, inparticular to YouTube.
• Youtube is very useful for teachers to aid, assist and deliver teaching material.
• As previously mentioned, strict safety protocols need to be adhered to and followed when teachers and students wish to access, use and upload media videos to YouTube.
• Google Drive is the recommended alternative for learners to share videos.
• Recommended YouTube Channel Setup:
• Default for uploading a video will be set as unlisted
• Videos will be shared by embedding them in a school blog or Google Site.
• If videos have been created for assessment or appraisal purposes they can be embedded in Sites or Blogs or the link can be shared parents/colleagues via Google Drive or email.
• We navigated around the Channel settings and Channel dashboard. 
• Learnt how to embed and upload media files to my Blog, although this took some time and frequent questions to my mate, Makaore (poor chap).

KAUPAPA #3: Media

• I found the media deep dive component of todays delivery to be quite full on. I take my hat off to Dorothy for the thorough and indepth knowledge regarding the various platforms of media used for learning.
• The various platforms of media covered in this section, were:
• Video
• TV
• Livestreaming
• Film festivals
• Green screen
• Podcasting
• The one thing I took away from this part, although small, was this quote, "People remember 20% of what they see, 40% of what they see and hear, but about 75% of what they see and hear and do simultaneously..." - Lindstrom, 1994.

KAUPAPA #4: Google Draw

 

   

 KAUPAPA #5: Google Slides

NGĀ AKORANGA:

• The Manaiakalani Programme:
• AKO - 

  AKO describes a teaching and learning relationship, where the educator is also learning from the student and where educators' practices are informed by the latest research and are both deliberate and reflective. ... 
  In te ao Māori, the concept of ako means both to teach and to learn.

• HANGA - Creativity empowers learning. Digital technologies empower creativity
• TOHATOHA - Connected learners share. Positive, thoughtful, helpful.
• What does LEARN look like at your kura?
• Amplify Effective Practice:
• For teachers, harnessing technology to amplify effective practice has TWO sides to it:
• Giving
• Getting
• Google Meet:
• Google Meet has a variet of useful purposes
• How to get in to MEET?
• Gmail
• Calender
• Hyperlink
• Google Meet etiquette:

• Group calling 

  When group calling the screen will change to whoever is speaking (or making noise) therefore be careful not to click your pen?

  Headphones 

  Not absolutely necessary BUT recommended as they reduce the amount of feedback and therefore improve sound quality

  Laptop Sharing

  Don’t share. Use your own. Meets are designed for 1:1. Not suitable for 2-3 people trying to use the same camera or microphone. 

  Same room, own laptop 

  Sitting in the same room on a Meet is not what it is designed for. If this happens make sure you press the “Mute” button when you aren’t talking to reduce the amount of feedback interference.

  Same room, one laptop 

  This is a last resort option. Sit well back from the screen. Use external microphone in centre of group. Ensure all can be seen.

• Gmail:
• Learnt how to organize my email and select the desired layout of my email background
• Navigated my way around the SETTINGS for a particulr view and layout
• Installed a work signature for the end of my emails
• Useful tip:
• Undo Send
• Google Keep:
• This was new to me. Prior to the delivery of this I was unaware of what Google Keep is and what it is used for.
• A good way to jot down ideas, even OTJ's (overall teacher judgements) when observing my students.
• There is a bit of navigating around which I found a little off-putting.
• Google Calender:
• Already had an idea of working with Google Calender and planning and scheduling events.
• Some useful tips for Calender:
• Shortcuts
• Blogging and embedding videos:
• I still require assistance with uploading and embedding videos or other forms of media outlets to my Blog site. I'll ask Makaore and my other co-horts in my digital bubble to assist me.
