So we had some fun with an IPAD looking at just how CLEVER our students are. We also spent some time on a Chromebook looking at how it functions. My conclusion is our kids are just awesome to be able to work with these devices!
We also spent some time learning how to screencastify, an interesting tool that I could see teachers and students benefiting from - a played around with this concept on some of our ncea credit information
We heard some more words of wisdom from Dorothy on the Teacher Hapara Dashboard and Fiona Grant shared her knowledge on the Manaiakalani Pedogogy around Cypersmart for our learners.
We then looked at the manaiakalani journey for chromebooks and how they worked to implement this concept in our schools. There was some very hard work from the manaiakalani team to get people onboard with the concept, not so much the students and their whanau but the outside world.
Kia ora Debbie,
ReplyDeleteA great use of Screencastify! I'm sure that will be helpful for teachers, looking at your data. You are right, it's a really valuable tool, so often it can be quicker to show someone something than to try and give written instructions! I love your EE task - it's interesting how we can find these things tricky, but kids take to them like ducks to water!
