DAY 3: DFI - Media

      

The Manaiakalani Pedagogy: Learn Create Share

Today we focused on Create. Anne Sinclair presented the Novel, Creative and Education paradigm with great gusto! One of the foundation goals of Manaiakalani programme is to; 'motivate our learners to engage with the curriculum' as creators of content, not merely consumers.

Empowering through creative knowledge:

choice

information and knowledge

developing skills

building capacity

scaffolding

Collaboration, communication, creativity

Facilitator Kent Somerville dived into Live Streaming youtube, and explored Youtube; Youtube Channel, and Create Playlists. Exploring three sides to Youtube: Consumer, Create Live Stream and Create a studio. I will definitely be revisiting these tools to embed my knowledge and skills! I particularly enjoyed creating Playlists, the possibilities are mind blowing both personally and professionally, accessing and sharing information with colleagues, parents and whanau.

Google drawing tips and tricks was shared by facilitator Amie Williams. Digital art offers a myriad of opportunities to create mind maps & flow charts, digital drawing and more...

Google Slides was FUN! and shared by Maria Krausse. We had an opportunity to create an animation.

It was suggested to keep it simple which resonated with me, and to use a consistent theme throughout each slide. Google slides is a tool to create presentations from scratch or from a template, where images, video, audio, shapes, tables, charts, diagrams, word art and animations (as above, my very simple attempt at animation) can be added. There are also different sharing options available, and slides can be embedded into blogs and websites.

Thanks for such an informative and enjoyable day.
Mā te wā,
