#4 Digitally Fluency Intensive - Collaborate Sites

Bonjour!  Been a busy week!  

On Monday our school participated in our annual cross country run.  Our Year 5's ran 1.5km, a great effort for those who participated. 

 On Wednesday, I graduated alongside my work colleague Sandy Lagitupu from Unitech - Postgraduate certificate in Digital and Collaborative Learning.  With hours to go before finishing and handing in our class Film Fesitval movie .. eek! 

Week 4 - we got to hear the importance of 'Share' from the Manaiakalani LCS, as well as creating our own google sites.  We also got to hang/meet with our Gisborne cohort, who shared tips on our google exams.  Key was to read the questions and copy & paste (lol!).

From last week, I decided to share a google slide.  Feel free to drop a line.  Au revoir.

    

Computational Thinking

My notes at Mindlab postgraduate certificate lecture about 'computational thinking' - interesting, how would I incorporate this in my teaching?

21st Century Skill - Use of ICT for learning

This year I decided to learn more about digital learning, I'm currently enrolled with MindLab studying in a Postgraduate Certificate in Digital and collaborative learning.  This week we have been looking at 21st Century skills (ITL Research 2012).

This guide describes six rubrics of 21st-century learning, each of which represents an important skill for students for developing:

• Collaboration
• Knowledge construction
• self-regulation
• real-world problem-solving and innovation
• the use of ICT for learning
• skilled communication 

We worked as a group and looked at 'Use of ICT for learning'.
