• Others in the same boat re doing and remembering.  Just need to use this new learning, before it is forgotten. Little steps!

Agenda Wk 5

Kaupapa and Pedagogy.  Slides

Kaupapa - looking today at below the floorboards.  Looking at a smooth pedagogy.

Visible; Can you see it or can you not see it?  Learning in a digital world, using the word visible as how well we can see something.  Not interested in grey/cloudy.  Opening up the learning journey for our students.  

Is everything visible to the learner/whanau/teacher needs/colleagues???? (Manaikalani question)

Over the years we have kept alot hidden from students and whanau.

Learners often have to find their way through the maze!!!

If parents didn't experience success at school there is the first barrier.

Having everything visible from assessment to LO's 

Switch of thinking - visible - so the question is 'what needs to be invisible?'

What needs to be kept private? different schools, different communities, different views/outcomes of the question.

Slide 11 - watch videos from two perspectives.

John Hattie - major change agents - Revisit book - Hidden Learners.

Links throughout slides - take time to visit.

Manaiakalani - teachers online  - slide 16.  Everything is visible, planning, day to day running.

On air 

Slide 18/19 - when we moved into digital learning sites, some schools locked whanau out of sites.

Are we using the digital to remove parents, keep them out of the learning journey, or are we using it to add to the visibility of their child's learning journey.  Each password that we allocate creates a barrier!

Be conscious of this!!!!

Is technology being used to add or subtract from visibility?

Deep Dive; Engagement

EDtalks - Chrissie Butler -Universal design for learning. 

Three principles that acknowledge difference from the outset

• learners perceive information in different ways - ie, visual, kinesthetic etc.What engages one learner doesn't necessarily motivate another.  Incredible variability.  We need to present in many different ways.
• Quote of the Day:              Campbell Gold 
•                                    'You can't get a fish to climb a tree!'
• When you plan for the edges you plan for everyone! (ramps versus stairs, accessibility for everyone.
• Slide 11 - watch link.
• 2nd fantastic quote of the day;      Ilisa -'Thinking face not facial leakage face'
• Multimodal sights depends on digital fluency of teachers.
• Multimodal gives greater opportunity for success for all!
