DFI, Session 3

The DFI session today was informative and also really fun!. We explored the CREATE part of the Manaiakalani pedagogy. Some google tools we used to create with today were...

Google slides
Google draw
Youtube

We also had Kent Somerville share his knowledge of creating using the drone and the many possibilities around delayed streaming, the possibilities of using the camera for film festival movies and live streaming.

I am proud to have completed my first animation using slides





I also had the opportunity to work on my digital pepeha with the help of Waha Tauhara. Thank you Waha for all your help with the pronunciation. I look forward to sharing this with you once I have learnt it.

Learnings/ AHA moments:
The quotes that Dorothy Burt shared with us really resonated with me especially as it linked back to my Learning Through Play, the Oral language acquisition and what I am hoping to achieve.

John Dewey:
Give the pupils something to do, not something to learn; and the doing is of such a nature as to demand thinking; learning naturally results.”

Kohl (2008) describes what creativity looks like in young children when she states, "Creativity focuses on the process of forming original ideas through exploration and discovery. In children, creativity develops from their experiences with the process, rather than concern for the finished product. Creativity is not to be confused with talent, skill, or intelligence. Creativity is not about doing something better than others, it is about thinking, exploring, discovering, and imagining" (Kohl, 2008).

Ramblings / Rumblings
* How can I ensure that the opportunities I provide for learners to create, exposes and assists them to learn in its fullest potential?
* How else am I able to respond to my learners needs using Create, Play and the Explain Everything app .
