Week 8...

The Rise of the Gerhard

The journey is nearing end and things are ticking well in class according to WWW (don't believe everything you read - I'm sure mistakes are made).
I feel the classroom use of sites has been a game changing tool and DFI has helped me polish this. Children have access to their learning at the touch of a button anywhere they can get internet. My enviable task is continuing to engage them with the tasks I set. (easier for some than others)
There is a general feeling of dread eking from the icy hall as Google exam looms on the horizon.

Pedagogy and Kaupapa

Cybersmart

Proactive - cybersmart not cybersafety

Ambulance at the top of the cliff

PB4L - are you being… not You’re being (way to address children who may be on the wrong thing - remember RSP RT)

Slide with +ve links

Learners are online - at home or at school - explicit teaching through school -

LCS - cybersmart - implemented at school - need to reiterate importance and ways

KAWA of Care

What they create and share is part of their digital footprint - citizens who contribute positively

Any time, anywhere, any pace

Take care - RAMs - when we go on trips - Cybersmart is access to a tool that can leave the classroom?!>

Make kindness go viral

Wheoritia te atawhai

Whenever we share it’s personal - what should we share

Kawa of care

1. Responsible use agreement:

Student agreement:

• I will respect the terms of the Kawa of Care
• I will respect the equipment (my device, power charger and bag/sleeve) by always looking after it and keeping it safe.
• I will respect others by always using this device to interact with others in a kind, positive and helpful way.
• I will make the most of this opportunity to learn lots of new things and to share these with others.
• I will always be in the right place, at the right time when I am online. If in doubt I will ask my teacher or parent.
• I will protect my password and keep it completely secret.
• When I take my device home, I will keep it safe when I am not using it.
• I am responsible for any activity undertaken on this chromebook.
• When I take my device home, I will bring it back to school everyday, charged, in good condition  and ready to use.

What does my digital footprint say about me?

Hapara

This tool was covered in depth... unfortunately I was excited to look around my children's work so missed a bit. looking forward to going through the slides.
I did pick up a few tips and made some groups - easy access of grouped children
Reset passwords - I have used this but good reminder

Part 1: Chromebooks

Why

Partnership

• Ako involves all
• Community engage - Kawa - created with whanau
• Device ownership

Participation

Protection - Treaty

• Legally set
• Behind the scenes
• Levels of visibility

Equity - best device for all students

When devices are taken care of - good lifespan

Funds - can find

Comfortable with device - device isn´t big deal

We had a play through a set of tasks

This showed the chromebooks to be good but a little cumbersome with keyboards and mouse - makes me appreciate the one I've got.

Ipads

This again made me appreciate the one I've got. Few bugs but can see the value - particular the rewindable element of Explain Everything.

We set up for our exam and the small examples filled me with a little fear, we will see a week of review, review, review.

Screencastify

This is a great tool for the children to share learning.
I used it to create a short video to review our Kawa of Care - this is a good way for the children to rewind their learning. I can see this working well in the class and as it is easy to create and post.
