DFI 7: Dealing with Data

Dealing with data

Reminder to go back and use the Manaiakalani website as a reminder of information and background pedagogy and practice which is so easily accessed.  This is a fabulous resource for us to go and use and refer back to.

Check out the Manaiakalani visit day - they run these 3 times a year - this would be really good PD for our whole school.  Great chance to see these schools who have been on the Manaiakalani journey.

Focus today on "connected".  Summary of things that Manaiakalani do so well.
Real focus on visible learning
Coherence across clusters
Learn Create Share
The idea is to cover these aspects over the year:

• Term 1 focus - Learn
• Term 2 focus - Create (create to learn)
• Term 3 focus - Share (foundational skills first)
• Term 4 focus - bringing it all together

Lots of opportunity to connect
- Staff meetings
- Face to face
- Online

Check out Manaiakalani twitter page called Manaiakalani Cluster.  Great professional learning around these with discussions.  It is a platform which shares comments and discussions that you can add to.

Check the cybersmart resources out so you can adapt and tweak to make it work for your needs.

Google forms

Some great tips and reminders.  The settings options of adding in video and pictures adds to the form.  Easy to create and share with others and see the reminder if required

Check out breakout - make in sections - google breakout edu - use a lock box that they gather a code with the answers - great way to practice with PAT with multi-choice etc.  Needs to be specific or give them a note in brackets eg. must include a capital.
Include a comma to separate the answer

This would be a fabulous interactive learning activity that the students would love!

Google maps

Wow!  The options with this is amazing!  First time using it and I can see the potential!!  Really enjoyed having a go at this.  The learning for students for recording "their place" is huge.  We could collate a school record of our heritage.

Google Sheets

Tutu with the chart.
Great to have a practice using slightly different shortcuts.  Was fabulous
