The task: Identify a challenge impacting students in our class or at our school
- I had been concerned with the lack of commenting on blogs.
It was evident the children who were getting a buy in from home were performing better academically and those who had had no responses were not invested in blogging. Their posts were rudimentary at best and they were reluctant to take time to produce quality posts.
I considered this and considered ways to improve this engagement from home. Eventually I came up with the initial problem of...
- Whanau are not engaging with online learning
This was broader and I felt it was a good place to start.
I took this problem and continued through the Moonshot process.
I had to identify who it is a problem for and how do I know it's a problem. Looking further afield I found information that supported my thoughts on the impact of social media at home.
The next step was to come up with some initial proposals and ideas that may help improve outcomes and address the problem I had identified.
The initial stage of the moonshot proposal ended with considering how technology could impact my problem in a positive way.
The Moonshot proposal process was a great way to identify my initial ideas. I am sure they will be extended and challenged through the year working with MIT. I am confident and excited to see where the inquiry takes me!
