Toki Pounamu PLG

Professional learning day at Grey Main School

Today focused on Learn, Create and Share (link to slide show here)

Learn
Digital devices to augment learning in the class. Learning information should be clear and easy to access. Teacher led information should be on learning site not in hapara. 
DON'T WORRY about the look of the site, getting something there is more important than the not having anything on there.

Create
Ideas
Students are hopefully given ways to express themselves in a way that has not been given before. Creating an essay is not a new way to share.

If students are creating digital object then that moves you up as a classroom teacher up to the SAMR model. To Augmentation
S - Substitution
A - Augmentation
M - Modification
R - Redefinition


Lots of shared ideas on the padlet this made me realise that I have so much to learn before I can do this. 

Share
Blogging, lots for Philippa to do.
Good for students to connect with a wider audience as this improves their confidence and feedback.

Longitudinal study of results is not necessarily helpful as different students may achieve differently. This is only to be used as a benchmark for looking at overall possible patterns in standards and achievement.
