"Creativity focusses on the process of forming original ideas through exploration and discovery" Kohl 2008. One of my favourite events of the year is the Manaiakalani Film Festival, seeing the students and teachers creativity celebrated on the big screen is always incredibly inspiring. Hearing the children talk about the films they create reminds me I must always strive to learn more so that I can provide meaningful learning experiences for them.
Today Dorothy talked to us about the 'Create' part of the 'Learn, Create, Share' pedagogy and our session was focussed on Media; how we can use this to enhance the children's learning. We learned how to use Google Drawing, Slides and YouTube effectively as a creative learning tool.
For me, this was a very interesting session as I have only used Google Slides for my planning and today showed me new and creative ways to use it with the children. I hope to be more efficient in my planning with this new knowledge and to create tasks for the children using what I learned. This is an example of using Google Slides as a learning tool.
Kia ora Irene,
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the Manaiakalani Film Festival, I've seen several of the films over the years and the are fantastic!
I love your slides - what a great way for learners to connect with the content on the book. Did you know you can hide slides so that student's can just click through the slides you've put together.

Kia Ora Irene,
ReplyDeleteI love your use of slides. It is engaging and visually appealing and we know our students enjoy this. It makes you realise just how much you can do using slides and how we can continue to make our teaching engaging for our students. I also learnt a wee bit about crabs, so thanks for that.
Earlier this week I was at the Manaiakalani PLD session where I used slides to create a virtual library (just another cool way to use google slides) which I think might use in your role. Certainly something I enjoyed making. If you'd like to have a look just click here
