Dorothy joined us today via Google Hangouts to talk to us about ubiquitous learning.
Ubiquitous Learning Slide Deck I love ubiquitous learning, The concept of 'Anytime, Anywhere, Any Pace From Anyone' has definitely increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy. The school day can extend well beyond the 8.30am and 2.30pm bells.
Students can remotely take part in the classroom program as long as they are connected. I have had examples of this in the past few weeks as I have had a number of students away from school yet they have felt well enough to access their learning on the class site. We have home learning each week but I have noticed that some of the students have begun to finish off learning in their own time at home which has been amazing.
The idea of learning ;Anytime, Anywhere at Any Pace' has improved my capability as a professional as I have begun to record my lessons to enable students to re-visit them in their own time. One of my maths groups were struggling with their place value learning so I recorded our group session and uploaded this to the class site so they could watch it to reinforce their learning. This is something that I know I should be doing more often but have not liked recording myslef. DFI has given me the confidence to get over it and JUST DO IT!
Today I sat the google Google Certified Educator Level 1 and passed. I found it tricky in places and was quite relieved that I passed in the end.
This DFI course has been the best PD that I have been part of in the last 5 years. I have new found confidence in my teaching using technology as a tool and feel that my digital world is far better managed both at school and home. I feel that the Manaiakalani pedagogy is going to accelerate the learning of my students. I have made my own class site adjusting up my class site to suit the needs of my class and it has increased the agency in my class. Rewindable learning videos made by my students and I has meant that the students are now able to learn wherever they are able to access the class site. It felt like students previously said my name many times a day and now it’s hardly heard. This has been a significant shift in mindset for my students and I. Thank you Venessa and Kerry, you have both been magnificent.
