Reflection Week 7
Cohort 2
Quite a frustrating start this morning with the grid view on Google Meet not working. It took me about half an hour to solve the problem and unfortunately I missed some of Dorothy's presentation on Hapara Dashboard. However, we all know that when we use digital technologies, we need to be problem solvers, we need to persevere and we need to be resilient - that is what we expect from our students and we need to set the example in that regard.
The session on "Explain Everything" was great. This tool can be used in many different ways for students to create digital learning objects. It can actually be used across the school for different age levels, but you do need an iPad for it. Trying to use it on a Chromebook doesn't work that well.
An emphasis on the Cyber Smart curriculum is really important, especially when you make ubiquitous learning possible by sending Chromebooks home. All the Manaikalani and outreach schools have their own core values, but these are linked or underpinned by the Smart Values. See video below:
How very true Casper, and a story we can now tell our students when they show frustration. Explain Everything certainly has some amazing tools for young learners, and now that you have had a taste, you will be able to see just how far your juniors have come on their iPads.
