Connecting with Manaiakalani - Pedagogy and Kaupapa
As educators, we can teach our students how to utilize online connectivity in ways that support individual interests and passions, and help students meet their own academic and personal goals.
As professionals, we have to stay connected to upgrade our skills, collaborate, learn from each other and contribute to the educational community.
Let’s reflect on why connectivity matters. I believe that:
- Connectivity supports students’ passions.
- Connectivity means your work is accessible and mobile.
- Connectivity supports learning about your interests (or studying for the SAT).
- Connectivity allows for collaboration and contribution to creating meaningful work.
- Most importantly, teachers and students can learn, create, express themselves, be themselves sharing their new learnings, experiences and ideas.
Tuhi Mai, Tuhi Atu is definitely to join in next year with my class.
Manaiakalani Toolkits to be explored over the weekend.
Google Sites
Being new to the Google Sites, it was a great experience for me to explore the existing Google Sites and reflect on their design and how do they meet their purpose.
Exploring some Examples of Class Sites - it will be my homework to evaluate these examples and learn from their creators. Another great resource is our collaborative evaluation because this will help me to filter the advantages and disadvantages of these class sites through the lens of my experienced colleagues.
My very first Class Site
Finally, I got an opportunity to start creating my own Class Site (still in progress). Currently, I'm using a Seesaw blog with my class but feel a strong need to extend my students' learning experiences.
The Class sites that I looked at today had some great examples of visible teaching, rewindable learning, multimodal and multi-text content, etc. My next step for the next year:-)
