RPI - Day 8 Creating to Engage, Learn and Share

 

I consider myself an experienced teacher who tries to keep up with all the changes in pedagogy, my subject areas and also technology.  But wow! Today has pushed me further out of my comfort zone.  I am pretty good with creative ideas and choice, collaboration,... but at the same time I know I struggle every time I try to engage the filming / movies / animation or audio tools.  Even if I have used them before, I find the student devices of different years have different accessibilities, and even our own tools vary depending on our tech support.  So this left brain image is me and my frustration aspects with tech, wifi and feeling like I have to trouble shoot more than enjoy the kids creating.  And yet I know and understand the power of creation and creative ways to respond to text. 

Here is my simple response to text adapted from another teacher Becks in the Manaiakalani group that I addapted for next week response to text for chapter 3 of The Outsiders.

I also enjoyed my one-shot book trailer film .... and when I can find where it has gone/saved... I will try to post here again.  Short post today but I have heaps of notes and ideas moving forward - thank you Kiri, Donna, and special guest, Fiona.  I am looking forward more and more to planning and shifiting more of what I have learned on a regular basis (more cohesive planning next year to apply many of these tips, tricks and ideas). 

Lucky Day!  I found my One Shot Video!
