Today Kerry spoke to us about Empowerment. She talked about how Manaiakilani promotes equity within our low socioeconomic community. We thought about how our learners are disempowered and how Manaiakilani can help with this. One thing I am noticing in my own class is high absenteeism which is a common problem in Northland. Hopefully the development of my class site can help me bridge a gap to learners who are missing school regularly.
I am conscious of empowering learners to become creators rather than passive consumers and the more I am learning the more confident I am feeling about doing this. This will be a continual challenge. Another thing I look forward to learning more about is helping students to understand the difference between social and professional life I think this is a vital skill required for this generation to ensure they develop confidence on line. However, it is also necessary for them to develop skills to cope with success and failures that people will encounter when putting themselves "out there" online.
"know how it works so you are not a victim of other peoples choices"
What did I learn that could be used with my learners?
I would like to invest in some movie making ipad apps for our school. Apps I am interested in are:
-greenscreen app
-stop motion sudio
-imovie
-flick
We used these apps to make the following movie. I was pleased to learn how to publish the video to You tube also, which made it easier to load on to my blog.
