Day One
The original Maaniakalani cluster continues to be a great initiative that was created to help increase the digital fluency of tamariki in the Glenn Innes area. It has been a great example of how using digital technology has helped to improve whole communities. It is more than using devices, it is about developing and enhancing skills for learners and teachers. It really is a collective and collaborative effort to be agents of change. There is a lot to learn, but the end results are going to be worth it. The best thing that I learned to use today, is the talk - typing tool. This will be great for the children who find it difficult to record their ideas, they are either caught up with spelling, or retaining their thoughts. (Although that occurs not matter what age you are). This is something that I would definitely use in the classroom.
I think that the children in my class are visual learners, being able to quickly create visual resources will be great for the students. It will also be great for the children to create their own visual documents when they are retelling a story, or making a poster.
Kia ora Sonya,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to create your doc about instructions for swimming. I like the water coloured background. I see the images are all aligned right. You can change this.
