DFI - Day 4

 Kia Ora,

This was Day 4 of DFI Cohort 1 2022. We focussed on the pedagogy of 'Share' and Dealing with Data.

Akohia/Learn:

I shared that I have embraced the idea of 'Create' to promote student agency in learning. This week, I taught multiplication and my students used Explain Everything to create a response to the math task. They also blogged their work. Here is an example:

First, we learned about the third pillar of the model, 'Share'. The main point I took from this was that sharing is about working with learners to establish an authentic audience for their learning outcomes, sharing is about connecting and sharing needs to have a purpose. 

Then, we completed a Google Form and created a Form independently. I made a 'Class Survey' for Room 4.

Later, we created a MyMap. I made a map of several Auckland Beaches I have visited and added photos, as well.

Afterwards, we dived into Google Sheets and levelled up our knowledge and skills. This was particularly useful for me, as previously, I had not had substantive experience with the application. 

Hanga/Create:

During this time I was able to make meaning of the content by creating with Sheets. I decided to analyse the data of a student from Panmure Bridge School. The data concerned the frequency of blog posts over a 5 year period from 2017 to 2021.

                   

Here are the results!

Tohatoha/Share:

Lastly, we 'Shared' our learning. We focussed on embedding and rewinding the content we had created through our blogs.

And, by reflecting upon this blog, I have answered a couple of questions.

What have I learned that has helped increase my understanding of the Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy?

I have learned how the 'Share' part of the model is essential to building relationships and connecting with other people, sharing is not just a Manaiakalani thing - it's a human thing- and that we have always done this since time began. 

What have I learned that can be used with my learners?

I have learned how to utilise Google Sheets and create a spreadsheet using an authentic data set. I could teach my students how to make their own Google spreadsheets using a data set (e.g;. the number of times they have finished and blogged on edublog)

Mā te wā.
