So meeting again in our digital bubbles. I really enjoy this time to share what has worked well for me during the week or what I have used in my hub. The Digital Dig from last week was a real hit with my Year 5/6 children. I am loving all the resources that I am getting during this course. Even in our digital bubble, we were sharing Matariki resources.
We then moved on to The Manaiakalani Kaupapa of Empowerment. This was one of the most important messages I got from this session.Devices are not just tools they are transforming the way that the children learn and offer them new experiences and opportunities.
Having a better understanding of the Digital Curriculum Document was a great session. The slide that we were shared has some really good information for a better understanding. Hopefully, you enjoy looking at it.
Next, we had a look at coding and had some playing and creating time. I enjoyed seeing what was actually available for children. I will use some of these in. my hub. I especially liked the Minecraft Voyage. This would be great to use for strand maths. Children would be very engaged in this.
Have you ever coded before? Did you enjoy it?

Kia ora Tracey,
ReplyDeleteI love the way you finish your posts with a question - I just want to jump straight in and answer that first! I've played quite a bit with coding, and really enjoy it, but would like to work more on producing something rather than just mucking around with it - maybe a holiday job for me? I also really think the message behind the empowerment part of the kauapapa is so valuable - for our learners, for the teachers and for the whānau. Are you feeling more empowered after taking part in the DFI?
