The office for today.....

Look at this.... if only the view at work looked like this everyday!

Digital Technologies- Exploring computational thinking.

Tonui Collab- 

Exploring computational thinking.
What we can take back to the classroom.

The future of Tech- 
How are we supporting our children to get to the place they need to be in the future?




We have had a blast- Coding, algorithms- lots of new language and I am thinking this is the starting point for our learners- learning the language of digital technologies.

Exploring coding 

Must try Lightbot and Makeblock apps for ipad.

Cospaces for coding and AR.
Quiver for AR.

How can I apply this in the classroom?

Well, will definitely start with the 3 roles that we tried- programmer, tester and robot. Will be good to also show the kids the peanut butter and jelly sandwich challenge youtube clip. 

Fun day exploring computational thinking. 

Now just for giggles....
















Have a fab weekend whanau..... 

DFI-Session 6 - VISIBILITY

Visibility- How visible is my class site to the whanau?

Whanau feel disenfranchised if there are no books for them to see.
If the journey isn't visible, its like walking through a maze.

If kids are absent, they find it difficult to catch up if learning isn't visible. 


Success previously has been about reading the teachers mind.
WALHT and success criteria has made learning more visible.

VISIBILITY- hapara 

https://classonair.manaiakalani.org/
Must visit to see what other manaiakalani teachers are doing in class. 

Twitter feed where inquiry blogs are made visible.
