Mindlab reflections

To what extent might blended learning impact on the engagement in the learning of literacy? or How does blended learning affect students' engagement in a new entrant class?

Topic Area Blended learning models and student engagement I would like to focus on a blended learning model and how that impacts on student engagement. I have found it difficult to engage students in my new entrant classroom (Māori immersion), with little reo Māori. I think it is important to provide an inclusive environment at kura, however, it is difficult when there is a language barrier to hook those students into the mahi. 

Week 19 Reflection Activity 3: Contribution of Teacher Inquiry Topics to my Communities of Practice Create a reflective entry where you critically reflect on how  two  potential and inspiring digital and/or collaborative learning related teacher inquiry topics would contribute to your Communities of Practice. Your reflection should be based on a reflective model of your choice.   Step 1: Ka whakaako ahau i ngā tamariki hou, rima tau te pakeke i te kura. I te nuinga o te wā, ka ako rātou mā te rāwekeweke, te tākaro play based learning, me te station rotation model . He rerekē te taumata reo o ia tamaiti. Ko te nuinga e mārama ana i te reo Māori engari kāore ā rātou puna reo kia whakawhiti kōrero i te reo Māori. Ko tāku hiahia mā ngā tamariki kia ako i ngā pūkenga o te rautau 21 pērā i te mahi tahi (collaboration) i roto i te reo Māori. Ko te wāhanga tuarua kia uiui i tēnei kaupapa me ngā āhuatanga o te skilled communication i roto i tōku akoman...

1. I tēnei wiki ka tirohia ahau ki Theme 1: Personalising learning e ai ki (Bolstad, Gilbert, McDowall, Bull, Boyd & Hipkins, 2012) . Ka whai ngā tamariki i a rātou ake whāinga ako ia rā. Hei tauira, mō te pānui- ka mahi te tamaiti i ngā ngohe e hāngai ana ki tana whāinga ako. He aha tēnei āhuatanga i roto i te akomanga? Ehara i te mea ka waiho ngā tamariki kātahi ka mahia te mahi. I te mea he kohungahunga tonu rātou (5y.o), ka whai mātou i te Station Rotation Model kia āhei te kaiako te whakaatu me te whakatauira i tētahi pūkenga. Ko te wāhanga i runga i te ipurangi ko te ngohe i whakaritea ki Seesaw, ā, koia hoki te mahi motuhake e hāngai ana ki te tamaiti. 2. I te tīmatanga o te panonitanga i te akomanga, i te tino hiamo au ki ngā mahi me te wero. I kaha whakarite au i ngā āhuatanga o te akomanga rautau 21 pērā i te taiao  o te akomanga- kia whai wāhi ngā ākonga te mahi tahi (collaboration), me te whakawhiti kōrero ki ētahi atu (skilled communication). Ko te raru k...

Wiki 17 Reflective Practice He aha te āhuatanga o te arotake i taku mahi whakaakoranga? I ahu aku mahi arotake i ngā hui ā kaimahi i te kura. Ko ngā kaiako katoa e noho āna kia tirohia ki ngā painga, ngā mea ohorere me ngā ngoikoretanga.He pai ake te hui tahi me te kōrero mō te wā poto kia kore e kōtiti ngā kōrero. I tēnei wā kei te whakamahi mātou te hunga kaiako i ngā arotake ā tuhituhi i te Interlead Appraisal. Ka kōrero ahau ki ngā kaiako me ngā tamariki ia rā. Inā he raru, ka kimi rautaki kia whakatika. I ētahi wā ka tuhi ahau i ngā whakaaro engari ehara tēnei i te mahi ia rā. Ki ōku nei whakaaro, me āhei koe te kōrero ki ngā kaiako e pā ana ki ngā take e whai pānga ana ki ngā tauira, ngā whānau, me ngā kaimahi o te kura. I te timatanga o Mindlab, kāore ahau i te whai whakaaro mō ngā mahi arotake. Inā he raru ka kōrero kanohi ki te kanohi. Inaianei ka rangahau ahau i ētahi rautaki hei hāpai i aku mahi i te kura- ka whai whakaaro mō ngā kōrero o ētahi atu,...
