Agenda
Collaborate
with Mark and Danni
Today started with an outline of Create Hanga Hook with Dorothy.
These days we need much more than charisma to engage and hook in our kids.
Create is a doing word- involves multiple senses - the whole body.
The ability to create for most of our learners involves doing.
We want our young people to not just be consumers in the digital world,
but to be creators of content.
A handy reflection for our Team:Have our young people had the opportunity to be creative today? Have I had the opportunity to be creative?
I have thought well today of the importance of the hook- the "window dressing" inspiring kids to go in- explore further. Was most impressed with the Immersion Assemblies and the energy and creativity of the Port England staff to engage and entice students.

Because we know that everyone is different- choice in how students create is essential. What engages one learner doesn't necessary engage another. I am mindful that Danni's statement about our default is what we like, how we like to learn- rings true!
After viewing loads of multi modal resources, I made notes about the importance of scaffolded opportunites, that the layout shouldn't be too overwhelming, that instructions are clear for students and that choice be implicit in expectations for creating and sharing.
And today we had a chance to Create, my first ever play at creating a Google site. The step by step instructions worked well for this learner and I created a sandpit site for playing and learning in.
We talked about the value of creating sites for reusable themes, topics, learning opportunities -like: Anzac Day, Waitangi Day, favourite book studies.
After some korero about what might be most useful for sharing and rewinding learning, Sharon and I decided we would build a site where we could create and share our learning with our teams and others. It was fun, taking it slowly, practising the small steps and we have a site under construction.
A great day of learning, creating and sharing!
