It was a great day with Matt and Gerhard. I learnt lots of new and interesting things today. The best part was creating an event and inviting guests for google hangout.
This is what I actually did:
- Create a video recording of a Google Hangout between groups of three.
- Use Quicktime screen recorder - each group will need a Mac user to create the recording. Trim ends on QT to remove ‘fluffing around’ at beginning and end of recording. Send it to a Google Drive folder (make visible) at the end so you can embed in blogs.
- In groups of three, host and record a hangout.
Choose a child from the posts here, read what they have posted and base your discussion on this one post -*Tip* make it easy - scan through and pick one that has a creative looking post to discuss!!
Our conversation was basically based on these questions.
- What learner empowerment is demonstrated? Do you detect signs of learner agency in this post? Did they have any room to make choices?
- What supports / scaffolds might the teacher have set up to get this creative activity to occur? Eg scaffolds, rubrics, templates etc etc
- Explain/reflect/demonstrate learning, through creation - How has creation given more opportunities for deep learning and cognitive engagement?
Kia ora Sandhya, Great to see your learning continuing from afar. I am reading your post in Melbourne airport. You should see Melbourne appear on your blog world map, and in your statistics I will be the Mac using visitor from Melbourne!!
ReplyDeleteI was looking forward to listening in on your group hangout, but sadly you have not set the permissions to visible. It would be great if you could fix that!
Hi Dorothy, Thanks for your encouraging words and yes it's amazing to be digitally smart and get connected to the people around.
ReplyDeleteYes I will fix that,,,, Thanks and see you on Friday.
