Devices: Today we focused on the devices our young people use and we had some experience - Learn Create Share using Chromebooks and iPads.
We used both devices today to:
- See what it is like for our learners
- Learn tips and tricks to support our learners
Where we empower our learners as connected and confident decision makers.
As educators we need to make sure that learners are at home in a digital world.
The language we use needs to be positive and so on.
Teaching them to be proactive and productive.
Teaching them about digital footprint.
And for all this there needs to be nicely implemented:
The whole school needs to be focused with collaborative planning
Look for the priorities for your/ our school
There needs to be deliberate acts of teaching
As a school/ cluster there should be evidence of teacher shift and student learning.
3 categories that are fundamental to the daily digital lives every year.
Term 1: Smart Learners (Our LEARN term)
Term 2: Smart Footprint (Our CREATE term)
Term 3: Smart Relationships (Our SHARE term)
Being cybersmart empowers learners to connect when their learning is visible and ubiquitous.
Empowering - "confident, connected, actively involved, lifelong learners"
Ubiquitous - when learning is accessible A4 being cybersmart empowers our learners to harness technology in smart and clever ways.
Connected - empower our young people to engage in online behaviour and thinking that...elevates positive actions.
Visible - "whenever and wherever we share online...it;s personal!"
Empower parents and caregivers by partnering with whanau and aiga to confidently connect with their children's learning.
Quality Blog Comments - it needs to be positive, helpful and thoughtful.
Being Cybersmart also increases opportunities for learners to engage in cybersmart conversations and decision making with peers, whanau and teachers.
Cybersmart learning is at its best when embedded into an existing educational programme.
Young people learn that everytime they connect, collaborate and share online combines to create their digital footprint. Using Ipads and chromebooks learners learn faster to create and share.
Hapara is a powerful tool as it enables teachers to track children's learning via their drive. All learning should be visible provided the learners share on their drive.
Future focused learning in connected communities depends on:
Partnership
Participation
Protection
Activity we individually had to do in regards to the use of shortcut keys which learners basically use while using their Chromebook.
Explain Everything is the main app which learners are taught to use in early years of school.
Another day with loads of learning took place for me.
Such as the folders on Hapara - is same as the folders set up on children's drive.
Everything should be visible on Hapara.
Learners have to put/ save the work on drive so it's visible.
Learners have to put/ save the work on drive so it's visible.
Comments folder on Hapara means - the comments received by kids.
Comment (red) - anonymous user left comment eg. aunty, uncle etc who don't have google account.
Green pencil - means draft on posts.
Gmail - is there for care and protection.
Treaty (protection, partnership...
Any emails children have deleted / received, it stays on gmail.
Put screen up - don't have to tell children, let them figure it out.
Sharing - if not shared on drive it appears on sharing bit.
Highlights - purpose to be not in authority and knocking kids off.
Main points to consider:
*If children sit and work on their computer however the teacher can not see any work being done on drive then it could be that the learner is on their own gmail account.
*New Zealand - 18 is the universal age for kids to have google account.
* After 3pm we can not see what kids are doing at home. However if we do see then as a class teacher we need to send Hapara a message alerting them so that can turn it off. Email can be sent by scrolling down and typing a message.
Class Information - can be used to reset passwords
Check children's box.
+ add new child/ ren - teacher can add a new child but when Hapara update the new child/ ren misses out. The office need to add the new child/ ren fast so they don't miss out.
Child/ ren gone we can click and remove ie. if the office has not removed them but then when the update takes place vis Hapara then happens the child/ ren will show up again.
Student Dashboard - learners get their own work to see in files Year 7 & 8 or high school. Any work on any google product, can star doc, annignments, document.
Ipad - I did use ipads few years ago but the updates I need to get familiar with. Having a lite ipad session was fun with Sushmita.
