Description

I want to celebrate the power of my screencasts and the impact it has on my learners

Significance

I am using screencasts more now than ever - and each week the purpose of screencasts has improved. Initially, it was more instruction based, which some still are, making a move towards using it to model learning.

The goal this week was to use it to help teach and scaffold my learners in a piece of writing.

Learning

  • What is it that I have learnt by achieving this?
    That my instructions and what I choose to say must give the message clear to my learners

  • What is it I am learning about myself, my teaching practice, and my students, and my colleagues?
    That my questions and the way I explain the learning through screen cast need to be done in a way that ALL my learners are able to understand.
    In this home learning situation that we're in, that my learners can still maintain AND learn new things.
    I'm also learning that I am ADDICTED to screencasts - and that is absolutely GOLD!
  • What have I learnt about myself, my teaching practice, and my students, and my colleagues?
    I am learning that more of my students are requesting and asking for screencasts for specific things (e.g. Google drawing) to specific learning tasks. These are quick and manageable given the current situation we're in.
    I'm building a bank of screencasts that allow my learners to access these later down the track
  • How could this learning assist others?
    Rewindable learning!

  • How will I celebrate this achievement?
    By making more screencasts for my students!


    This week, I have attempted to do a digital Modelling writing. Hoping to collect some student voice at the end of the week to see if and how it helped them with their learning this week - Term 2 Week 2 Home Learning - Writing

What's the challenge? What's my challenge?

Every document that is available and related to Pasifika and Maori learning is focused on Teacher Practice. This is the heart of the matter. Until teachers change their attitudes and practice student learning will stagnate. My focus is on teacher practice looking at Cultural Responsiveness.  Do teachers know their students' cultures? Where they were born? Language spoken at home? Who they live with?  What their students’ home responsibilities are? Is there evidence of each child’s culture in the classrooms? Beyond that - do teachers know their students’ stories? And what to do with that gold? Without this crucial information and a change in attitudes and practice, our tamariki will struggle to make connections, stay connected and be confident, all of which are outcomes of student learning.  Bishop et al (2014) expresses that new cultures or ethnicities require teachers to engage quickly and positively with learners from any culture and background so that their learners can progress

  I think quite often we get a bit scared to dive into these documents that we have sitting in our schools. It's often pushed to the side as other things have importance but seriously, this document needs to be used and time is given to unpack it. In the current times, it may not seem like a priority, but if you have Pasifika learners and families and are struggling to engage with them - pick up this document and get cracking.  Each time I spend time on this I learn something new, have another 'AH HA' moment.  A year ago I attended a  Tapasa Workshop  through Senior Teacher. Together with a colleague we unpacked each turu and identified what we've done in our school that fell into that compentency.  If you're not sure where to start - this is a good place to. Take each turu, one by one and unpack. Identify what you do in your school that is evidence of this. The great thing with this document is that it identifies what it looks like at different phases of your teach

kuw - 'Keeping Up With' - just like the Kardashians, but this time not the Kardashians, but me,  Poto Faalili.  So, with that said, welcome to ... KEEPING UP WITH MRS FAALILI Welcome to 2022! It is most likely going to be another year of uncertainties, working from home for a bit but nonetheless, a year full of learning, reflecting, failing, growing, and supporting each other.
