Digital Fluency - Week Toru

He aha aku akoranga hei āwhina i taku mārama atu ki te ariā ako me te kaupapa o Manaiakalani?

He aha aku akoranga hei whakawhanake i te ngaiotanga,  i taku māia, i taku kakama, i te rere rānei a te mahi?

He aha aku akoranga kia tukua, kia tohaina atu ki āku ākonga?

Learning is meant to be creative - fun, hands on, authentic. What went wrong in Aotearoa? It shouldn't look the same across all kura and kids should be loving school. Manaiakalani embraces this kaupapa, what am doing to keep creativity front and centre of everything I do as a teacher?

I can see how getting better at using Slides and Draw will improve my work flow, I would save so much time and produce more professional content if I just keep practicing.

I will have a go creating Youtube playlists with my students and putting it up on the class site. We have recently received student feedback that they would like to be listening to music, but my co teacher and I had taken away that option at the start of the year due to concerns over appropriate content and time spent scrolling through channels. I think this would be a cool alternative, especially if the students can co-construct to create the playlists.

Today I learnt to use Slides to create a Pick a Path (Work in progress above). I've started to make a pick a path to engage my class in the Youtube playlist idea and as a discussion point around Youtube boundaries. I look forward to teaching my students to get super creative and make a pick a path, perhaps even as a really fun writing tool.
