DFI Reflection - Day 3

I am thinking about:
Online options for all students ensuring learning is equitable where there is no internet available
Explore vodafone options for data and the library
How to support whanau who do not have
Ann Sinclair / Create Students at the Centre of the Learning
How to hook students into learning? How do I get my students to create to develop and explore what they want to explore involving the students?
Having a big idea to centre the learning on is crucial.

Using student voice to determine interests and design learning to capture the learning.
How we can change things for students. Creative skills help students to become better at thinking.
Plan and allow space for exploration time to grapple with ideas.
Creating a centre of creative excellence for our students - design, create, innovate.
Using our local curriculum to create opportunities for students. Using multiple senses and exploring across the curriculum to create. Thinking about something to learn and something to do. Creators of content. Students' choice and collaboration in learning.
Refer Ken Robinson Killing creativity.
SISOMO - sight sound and motion for creativity.
Creativity empowers learners with cognitive load.
What can I do that will help to foster creativity for our students?

I am also thinking about how the creative tools for teaching and learning need to be very purposeful and link to the big idea of learning so that students can select and create to share learning as they learn to use these creative tools such as google draw and animation.

Wolf Fischer - recommendations for teacher practice

Learn Authentic texts - actual texts not teacher made articles journals research material both digital and print. MORE OF THIS.

Collaboration - discussion students discussing. Unpack views and elaborate. Where is my view from? Why do I think this? Learning is a social activity. Be involved. Children’s thinking curriculum. Curriculum of influence. What do I want to know?
Can you articulate what learning looks like in our school?
