Computational Thinking
What did I learn that increased my understanding of Manaiakalani kaupapa today - specifically empowerment?
What stuck with me during our Hangout with Dorothy was what she said about teachers feeling empowered and that feeling being projected through to our students. I liked what she said also about empowering whanau and how detrimental it can be when teachers put passwords on specific things and whanau can not access it.
What did I learn that could improve my confidence, capability or workflow as a professional?
I liked that we all got to have a tutu with the technology. We had access to Stratch, robots, stop motion with green screen and mini models of trees and dinosaurs, and a virtual reality simulator. It gives me a little taster of the ways we can be more creative in the classroom. If my school gets access to any of the technology we experimented with today I would feel confident giving it a go with my students.
What did I learn that could be used with my learners?
Scratch was a great tool that I could introduce to my students. Its much harder and more complicated than it would seem! This is what I created. Definitely not finished and far from perfect but its a great example to show how difficult I found it!
