Establishing Learn- Create- Share in the Junior School

The researched in based on 1:1 but there are examples of Junior classes with only 1 or 2 pieces of technology for the whole class.

Junior Establishing LCS tab- LCS slideshow with 3 classes.
-We looked at a slideshow with pieces of work of classes that only had 1 device for the class, very similar to us. The way their children are doing Learn, Create, Share is by still doing their work in a traditional way of learning and creating then the work was shared on the class blog by taking a photo. This is something that we can do and I have done in the past. I will look into doing this next year when I set up a new class blog so be able to give students ownership and purpose in their work and start to head down the Learn, Create, Share system of Manaiakalani. Another thing the class was going was taking videos of the children doing their maths learning and sharing these videos on the blog. This teacher was just using the blogger app like us so this will be an easy thing to transition into doing last year.


To Do from this session:
-Look at the LCS workflow- in Established LCS tab
-Go onto the Manaiakalani twitter
-Look on the Manaiakalani webpage- click onto the people and their lessons will be available.

There is so much content available for us without having to reinvent the wheel. Find access to the sites and speak to Mark to find these.

Read And Write for google chrome- The little purple puzzle symbol by the search bar on chrome. By using this add on it reads out the site. This is good for when children are writing on google docs as they can listen to what they have written. It pauses at commas and fullstops so if there is no fullstop it will keep on reading and not sound right meaning the children will know they need to revise their work.
On Google docs, under tools, is a voice typing tool. It listens to what you are staying and writes it for you in talk to text. This would be a very quick way for me to get work done as well as the children.
