Learning, anytime, anywhere, any pace, anyone! Removing the traditional 9.00 to 3.00, empowering learners to access anywhere!

We can rewind, go at our pace!

Not suggesting 24 hour learning, but it does mean that learning is accessible anytime.

Priority learners come in with less language and Decile 1, 30,000.000 words behind Decile 10 school!

We can assume there is not a lot of learning occurring outside school hours!

WE re-state it loudly and boldly, YOU have proven in 2020 that digital technologies have the ability to positively change circumstances and should not be dismissed as ‘just’ a tool.

What has changed for me in my practice since lockdown?

Proud of: Screen Castify - Using to refresh memory of 'the how' to do things. Kelly and Ange very kindly did a few for me which helped no end.

Changes: I am far more agile online now. Don't get me wrong there are times and things that I have no idea, but lockdown and DFI have improved my capabilities hugely!

Regrets; That we did alot online during lockdown, and now we don't!!!

Hapara Hot Tip! Workspace

Being Cybersmart: smart and safe

Emily - Partnership THE slideshow

Partnership -

• Ako is a whānau or community experience

• Engagement in the decision making eg Kawa of Care

• Engagement through device ownership

Participation -

• Every learner can participate

• Every teacher can be supported to become Digitally Fluent when all devices are the same

• Engagement through device ownership

Protection -

• This should all happen behind the scenes

• Manaiakalani partnered with Hapara to design Teacher Dashboard to make all digital learning visible

• Partnership with N4L and Linewize for filtering

Introduction into why we have the chromebook and the ipad.

Just because I can, I put this in here!

Lunchtime Break - Drove then Scootered - all for a COFFEE!

Ipads: slideshow link

Chromebooks tolerate alot more abuse that an ipad!

Beginning of the Year - Before school starts:

• All iPads set up the same - icons in the same folders, lock screen

• All iPads signed into individual learners’ Google Accounts (Google Drive, Chrome & Explain Everything)

• iPads labelled on the outside with learners’ name

• Stylus labelled with learners name

Beginning of the Year - With the learners

• Start with ‘kawa of care’ routines including how to carry, where to store, where to be.

• Use ‘safety video’ BEFORE learners’ use them - play repeatedly over first few weeks - unpack as a class

• Loss of device for breaking ‘kawa of care’

• Whole class lessons over a few weeks (about 4 weeks)

Explain Everything:

Explain Everything - what fun, I can see this being used in The Nest.

Finally: End of day!

Time to reflect and share with colleagues

• What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?

I've really enjoyed learning the pedagogy behind LCS. This makes so much more sense now. Thank you.

• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?

Using the Ipad today has been a very steep learning curve, but...... I have to say that I do feel far more confident regarding getting the kids to DO something on the ipads, rather than play games!

• What did I learn that could be used with my learners?

 Creating more meaningful, rewindable learning opportunities for the little learners.

• What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow in my personal life?

Taking photos and inserting those into Explain Everything! This was 100% new learning!

All in all a great day, with a lot of fantastic ideas to use in the classroom. Loved the Ipad stuff, not so much the Chromebook!
