Computational Thinking: West Coast Agenda Day 5 Cohort 1, 2019

Today started by talking about WWW - I am enjoying listening to others and getting instant feedback.

What has worked for me since the last time we met?
The understanding and importance of ‘Share’ I have been sharing and opening up sharing options on my site. I have been making a point to send student work home for parents to have a hard copy to share.

At a hui last night I shared TOBY.

Last time my class site was a bit of a mess, I have spent time sorting it out but it needs more time spent on it. I want to get my group links sorted.

Connecting with Dorothy: Visible Learning and Teaching. John Hattie  (making learning visible)

Can we see it? Invisible or visible?

Can anyone see it? Invisible or visible?

The importance of children succeeding in education today is from preparing the children to be successful. This starts at home. 

Visible learning:

• Planning
• Process
• Outcomes
• Assessment

Visible Teaching:

• The day to day functioning and progression of the teaching and learning journey should Not be kept invisible
• Young people should not get Surprises
• It must be Accessible
• It must be Available

Changing the words from: finished - ready to share

We MUST remove passwords and decided what needs to be visible and what does not need to have a password.

Deep Dive/Chalk ‘n Talk 

-  Trailblazers presentation from Zoe and Viv @ OMGTech

• Intro to the future of tech and what it means for our tamariki
• Intro to the digital technologies curricula and structure
• Being Sorted! (and not in a Harry Potter way)

This was fun and I could see straight away how it can be used in the classroom.

First we made keep note with instructions on how to make a paper plane, then we shared our keep notes and another group made our plane from our notes, lastly we had a fly off.
