Manutuke

Monday 1st February 2010 - Congratulations to our Chrissy Ngerengere who will take on the .4 Facilitators position for our Ruapani Cluster. We also welcome Melissa Mackey to our ICT team. We have the Learning@Schools Conference coming up in Rotorua this month as well. lets look at getting our SMART Goals up whanau.

// 2nd Feb 2011 - Nga Mihi ki a koe Sammy for all your input and the many resources and skills you shared with our Kura. You will be missed and I now have a big challenge up ahead. Thanks Whanau, We will need to look at adding our reflection diaries on our school page for evidence in our milestone this term. We will look at 5mins each staff hui to add input. // // Na Chrissy // Tuesday 23rd Nov - Another great day with Sammi and the Ruapani LTT. She will be a great loss to the cluster but what she has given to support us all in this journey has been invaluable and we wish her well in her future endeavours. Be prepared to be a lot more active in posting our 'Reflective Journals' in 2011. Let us all chronicle our learning journey, let us all have SMART goals that truly challenge our comfort zones. Check out this link below - I think its very pertinent to our current discussions regarding the NZC/Marau development; C heck out the link below to find indepth definitions of the six tenets of Digital Citizenship http://edorigami.wikispaces.com/The+Digital+Citizen

Staff Hui - 'I Can Animate' Video: Lee Crockett Does it ever feel like our society is always in fast-forward? Are you frustrated by the experience of technologies becoming obsolete almost immediately after they're introduced? Do you struggle just to grasp how quickly and relentlessly things are changing? Change is the law of life, and is absolutely necessary in our lives. Our world today is in a constant state of flux, transforming and ever-evolving. It's often difficult to understand where it all might be leadin media type="custom" key="7309131"

Tutu Session introducing the interface and basics of 'I Can Animate'

Koka Sam in facilitating I Can Animate with middle school students. Students now know how to work the Animation programmme and have completed storyboarding. Our goal was to learn how to create an animation. Our success criteria was I will import my animation into the Movie Maker programme. I will add voice, transitions and credits to my animation through the Movie Maker Programme. I will save my Movie onto the desktop.

Tuesday 12th October We had a staff hui planned for today but half the staff were involved in other P.D. so we will catch up sometime this term. I have had a wonderful day with the gifted, creative and clever students from Manutuke. Our goal was to learn how to create an animation. Our success criteria was I will complete a storyboard which includes setting, action and dialogue. I will navigate around the 'I Can Animate' interface and create a mini animation. I will save my mini animation. Homework for Koka Sams next visit is... To complete a storyboard and animation ready for importing into movie maker by the 26th October. Our Goal next visit: To create an animation movie with audio, transitions and upload to the Ruapani wikispaces. Thanks so much for sharing your students with me Manutuke.

[|www.wordle.net] Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

Professional Reading - Na Trevor Bond
** The Place of ICT in Learning and Teaching. **

** I hold the viewpoint that Information Communication Technology (ICT) comprises a range of tools and systems that can be utilised as a tool to help us improve our teaching and assist our pupils to learn better. **

** The focus should not be on how to teach pupils skills like word processing, spread sheets, Internet searching etc. ** ** Rather the primary focus should be on quality learning and teaching. The secondary focus will be on ways of using ICT as a tool to enhance learning and teaching. **

**As teachers we should be aiming to provide learning experiences for our pupils that ultimately lead them into the development of skills and attitudes that equip them to become independent lifelong learners, effective collaborators, efficient workers and capable communicators. I see ICT as a powerful learning tool that, in the hands of confident, capable and creative teachers, can greatly enhance many teaching and leaning situations.**

** ICT is not an educational solution or a magic fix ** **.** **My equation to explain the place of ICT in learning is** ** PL + ICT = EPL. **  ** Poor Learning + ICT = Expensive Poor Learning. ** ** Integration of ICT into a poor learning experience or activity will never raise that activity to be quality learning. Quality learning experiences are generated by creative effective teachers and this has to be the start point. ICT is more akin to the salt or spice that a chef will utilise to add that extra savor to a great dish. The real magic in a quality learning experience comes not from boxes, wires and expensive digital equipment. The real magic comes from teachers who have high expectations, create relevant and challenging learning experiences, supported and scaffold pupils to success, and provide quality feedback for their pupils. **

Kia ora whanau, Welcome to our 'NEW' Manutuke wiki. Over time we will be looking at using this 'wiki' as an opportunity to organise and centralize our e-learning journey and feed into this which will become our 'Reflective Journal'; where we will be able to reflect upon our development and progress.Kia kaha, kia maia, kia toa!
