DFI feedback Session 3.

Another very busy session, I have a heap to learn.

It was great to delve into Create with Dorothy earlier today. The discussion and associated links/research further validated our children having opportunities to design, build, garden, dig into compost bins, hold wriggly slimy tiger worms, investigate playground projects and decide collectively how to move forward with what we want to do next. Actively being involved in decisions and actions is obviously engaging for our students. The word ako is being used more often and  power of our team is gaining momentum - both in words and actions.

I loved having time on Youtube to  develop playlists. I used the time to investigate the whale stranding in Golden Bay and make playlists which I can share with the class. 

I will work with colleagues to keep up skilling.

    Kia ora Wendy,

    It's so exciting to hear that your learners are involved in decisions around their learning. This is such a powerful way of engaging them. Ka pai! How did you get on with your playlist? Have you shared this with your learners? I think having a collection of resources which you can easily add to is so helpful!
    How did you get on with your Google Drawing and Google Slides tasks? It would be great to see them on your blog.

DFI 8 Computational Thinking

  What a blast this was today. I am not sure I ever thought I would become so absorbed in Minecraft, Flappy Code or Kodable to the point of not wanting to close the tab and get back into the main meet. I'll make the most of the code.org site and the tutorials, videos and planning on How to Plan Your Hour of Code    It was good to have another dip into The New Digital technologies Curriculum. The TKI Technology on line resource was really good, (thanks Kerry) and it's a relief to have the links between DFI programme, Digital Tech Curric,  and TKI for us and our students. The plethora of resources shared with us today links into work we've begun using Bots, Scratch Junior and non digital computational thinking projects. Once again the biggest issue is time, although the upcoming 5 day break may be an opportunity to dig deeper. What will I use with my class - definitely Hour of Code - super brilliant to have such a great resource!
