Activity 5: Using social online networks in teaching or professional development

 Jay Johnson reflective model


Descriptive
Social media in our school setting is developing. We are at the stage where it is the equipment and the resourcing for te ao matihiko is perhaps an area we can strengthen. Though the children have most of their experiences with social media at home, it is a trend that is felt the world over. Facebook, Instagram are some platforms and apps that are key sites for information in a real time world.

We recognise that in our school values we can identify the areas that we need to improve and these turn into goals for the teacher and student.

2.1 He tapu ngä reo katoa. No reira, me whai koha te hunga o ngä Kura Kaupapa Mäori ki ngä reo katoa.

 This means that learning different languages include language in mathematics and science. It also means in language in construction manuals. So subject rich language.

2.2 Mo ngä tamariki, kia rua ngä reo. Ko te reo o ngä matua tupuna tuatahi, ko te reo o tauiwi tuarua. Kia orite te pakari o ia reo, kia tu tangata ai ngä tamariki i roto i te ao Mäori, i roto hoki i te ao o Tauiwi. 

That recognizing other avenues of innovation, incorporating one culture with another and making a new bond through innovation.

3.1 Mo te nuinga o ngä tamariki, tokomaha ngä iwi. Tera pea mo etahi, kotahi te iwi. Ko te mea nui kia mohio ngä tamariki ki o ratou ake iwi, hapu, whänau hoki. Tua atu o tera kia mohio hoki ki te katoa o ngä iwi tae noa ki a Tauiwi. 

Social media also shows the trends of  the time or rather what other people portray as trends. This is relating to the overall network of your school, the community. How well up to date are you?


Comparative
Parents involvement so far is face to face discussions about the implementation, or their thoughts of a more ao matihiko orientated learning area. From years 7-8 English language is taught, but for the subjects like mathematics and science, those are done in te reo Maori.

 This is a predicament and there is not enough resources for those subject in Maori. Hence the reason to start an innovation where lessons are being recorded, quality recordings of certain achievement standards being done. This would encourage understanding through social media as a learning tool

Critical Reflection
We can make some kind of change if we think forward and have a go at it approach. This type of attitude toward learning goes against what you have been taught but really reflects on your learning and what you need to up-skill, professional development wise.

Reflection Journal (Part 3) The use of Jay, J.K. and Johnson, K.L. (2002) reflective model and Wenger-Trayner, E., & Wenger-Trayner, B. (2015) perspective of Communities of Practice have shaped what I have used in this blog. Descriptive: Activity 3: Inquiry Topic – Networking through different platforms by engaging 21 st century skills of collaboration. The Domain: The internet in general has provided the means to broaden our horizons, to communicate with distant relatives or business associates. It has enabled us to produce different platforms or learning models for people, who have access, to learn and discover different topics or trends of the time. It provides different modes of interaction from video, e-mail and social media. The internet has become one of the most powerful vehicles of knowledge and communication. So enhancing the skills associated with these avenues of networking will engage learning. The Community: My community of learning is made up of ...

Reflective Journal   ( Activity 2 ) The ‘Gibbs Model for Reflection’ highlights a change in my teaching practice and its affects. The descriptive aspect identifies for me the way knowledge is conveyed to better enhance the learning development in the student and their capacity. This in a way makes a comparison between how I was taught and how the students are taught today. “ One of the biggest challenges for education in the 21st century is that our ideas about curriculum are currently underpinned by at least  two quite different epistemologies , or models of what counts as knowledge.” Making way for innovative methods of learning has been at the forefront of my Mindlab journey. This in turn challenges me to incorporate a different kind of mindset in teaching but uses my prior knowledge as a foundation to strengthen that innovative process. I consider my prior learning as a huge part of my reflection, this helps me recognise skills I do have and at the same time skills...
