Today in our third DFI session we focused on Create within the Learn, Create, Share model. Here is a snapshot of Create at Wesley Primary.
As we have been using the Learn, Create, Share model for at least 5 years at Wesley I feel it is strongly embedded in the way we teach and learn. We encourage our learners to express their creativity and work collaboratively. Student choice is at the centre and we see how this empowers them as they lead their own learning with our support.
Youtube Playlist
Here's a playlist I created with songs that our students enjoy listening to. Our students also do news every week that we share on our blog. I think it would be great to make a playlist of all of these as we are planning on watching them all at the end of the year.
Google Slides
We use google slides for all of our planning. I recently learned of the shortcut Ctrl+k (thanks Phil!) to add links to images/text which was a big timesaver. Today I learned the shortcut to order images/text in google slides - Ctrl+Shift+up or down arrows which has already helped me a lot when creating slides for our school's pepeha.

I used mote to add audio to each slide here which is something that I will aim to do more of with google slides. This will make our learning slides more accessible for all learners.
Kia ora Ocea. I love Mote, such a game changer as a scaffold for students to engage with texts. I'm enjoying the visuals at the start of your blog posts. I'm glad to see your school has a clear vision of what learn, create, share looks like.
ReplyDeleteTalofa Ocea,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great reminder about the shortcut!
Mote is a great tool. I look forward to seeing how you will use it to foster the create tasks the students have throughout lock down. Keep up the awesome posts!
