Our Manaiakalani Staff Meeting focus was:
- to explore ways to increase opportunities for our learners to be creative
- to discuss and explore ways digital technologies turbo-charge creativity
We discussed the following questions:
- What is creativity?
- What have your students created in 2018?
- How have you used technology to create?
It was great to reflect on these questions in relation to our classroom. I believe creativity is the ability to think outside the square without restriction. Being allowed to be creative in our classroom is something that needs to be encouraged and embraced using all tools!
This term the students have been enthusiastic users of our STEAM electronic kits, digital tools such as google drawing and screen castify. The students have made screen castify's to explain how an electrical circuit works, how to use maths buddy,
It has been fabulous for the students to have a platform for sharing their learning with their friends, whanau and beyond.
