Day 7: DFI // Devices
What a full on week it has been with the change in the Covid levels and heading back to school. It was great to see my students again and showed them our class site and my professional blog.
Connecting with Manaiakalani - Ubiquitous
As stated in the above picture. Having the availability for your students to be able to connect with their learning outside of the school time frame. They are able to show whanau what they are learning through their class site.
Thinking about how I set my students ready for their learning when I was attending my DFi course? At our school, the relievers have their own programmes that they run.
Deep Dive - Cybersmart
Empowering our students to be confident online.
Making sure to model Positive language and behaviours with your students. Making sure to be positive, thoughtful and helpful. This links to the photo of how you comment on blogs. - That Kerry shared.
Hapara Hot Tip #6
I am going to have a look at the workspaces on Hapara and see how I can use it within my class.
Chalk ‘n’ Talk - Screen castify
I love using Screen castify when we were in lockdown (both lockdowns) doing rewindable learning to help troubleshoot problems my students were having as well as walking through instructions with what I want my students to do.
Exploring on the Ipads was great! I will definitely use this with one of my students. The app Explain everything was easy to use and I think my students would really enjoy using this tool.
Getting Creative:
I had fun creating my smart footprint and how I can use the app to explain everything for how I can use it for one of my students in my class.
I am planning on showing this to his teacher aide and how it could support her.
Below is an image of what I created in this session.
One Teacher shared that in her school one teacher gets the kids to take pictures of their writing then reading it allowed on this app. I think I will be using this with my students.
Reflecting on the Kaupapa of the Manaiakalani Programme in light of COVID 19 , whether you did Lockdown: Season 1 or Seasons 2/3/4, and YOUR readiness for ubiquitous learning...
What are you proud of?
I am proud of how I was able to set learning for my students with the use of the google apps that I have learnt so far! I was able to set my site up to be easy for my students and how they see everything.
What do you regret?
Not having a stronger internet connection and having to use my hotspotting.
What have you taken forward into the ‘new’ era of schooling?
Use of my class site more in the classroom, so my students are able to use it if we ever go into lockdown again.
All in all it was a great day and I now have some ideas on how I can sort one or even more of my students in my class.
Kia pai to ra!
Emma,
ReplyDeleteI love that you are thinking about how to use the iPad with your student in your class. I'm sure once you start with it the creativity will abound for your student.
Good work with your site and the use of Screencastify. It is such a great tool for you and your students to use.

ReplyDeleteYou're Digital Footprint creation on your iPad looks very cool, I bet the kids will really relate to that.
It sounds like your site has improved your own workflow and is adding real value to students' learning, ka pai! I tried to access your site via the sidebar link at the top of the page but that doesn't work. I'm not sure if it's because your site is blocked for people outside of your school domain or you have missed a few characters off the link. Maybe try deleting what you have and adding it in again. Also, if you get the option 'target' open in a new window tick that box so that people don't move off your site when they follow a link.
Keep up the great work Emma :)
Ka pai to mahi Emma. It is great to see that you are using the DFI learning to reflect against the learners in your classroom and how it will effect them. Keep up the Mahi.
ReplyDeleteGreat work on taking these learning into your classroom Emma. Lucky you to be able to be face-to-face again!
