Inquiry Snapshot

 

Monday Group 25 Share Staff Meeting - Matt Goodwin

Today I discussed my math inquiry as part of the  Monday Group 25 Share Staff Meeting. It was great to listen to the 'why and the what' from other teachers when it comes to improving the outcomes for students in maths.

Our school has had a UTB (Using Technology Better) facilatator this year to model ways we can use technology better in our math program. Donna has introduced me to  UTB | Edpuzzle in the Maths program and the Number Pieces App which I am using as part of my maths program.

If I am able to show the students how to successfully use rewindable learning they will use it to improve their outcomes in maths. 

Te Wānanga o Raukawa - Poupou Huia Te Reo Level 4

This week I started an online Te Reo course called Poupou Huia Te Reo. 

It is a 20 week online Māori language course suited to language learners at the beginner to intermediate level.  Follow the daily activities of a real whānau through a series of audio lessons and carry out fun online activities to reinforce  your learnings. Listen to adaptions of well-known fairytales and engage with peers and tutors online.

I have a goal to become a fluent speaker of Maori within the next 5 years and this online course is part of my Te Reo journey. Here are a few examples of what I have learnt in my first week.
