Google Summit Learning Story - Aug 2015

Learners:  Ashmira & Johanna                                      Learning Coach: DWilkes

Learning Area: Technology and KCs                            Date: Aug 12, 2015

Learning Observed

Ashmira & Johanna made us all proud when they represented us at the first ever Student Google Summit on Aug 12 at Hobsonville Point Primary School.  They were joined by hundreds of other learners from around Auckland and facilitated and participated in some exciting workshops about learning with digital technologies.  There was a lot of work leading up to this day.  First, Ash and Johanna met with Ms Wilkes to express their interest, brainstorm what they could present and then write and submit their pitch to the GEGNZ.  They demonstrated passion, commitment and skills while meeting their deadline.  This was their pitch which they decided to do on our Blogs: Blogger We are going to talk about our personal Google Blogs and how we use Blogger in Our School. We use Blogger to write posts about our learning and what we do at school that we think we should write about to share with the learners and learning coaches. We also get narrative assessments in our blogs. These are learning stories that our Learning Coaches write about our learning for us and our parents to read, comment on and learn about our day to day learning. They were of course successful and were added to the programme.  They then had to create their presentation and included lots of interactives like writing a blog comment in their blogs.  The learners decided it would be great if they could practice their workshops the day before to iron out any crinkles and so they were able to facilitate their workshops for the rest of the habitat.  Ash and Johanna did their practice run with a group of 18 learners and responded to feedback,making some small changes to improve their presentation.  On the big day they both demonstrated capability and collaboration.  They also demonstrated confidence and resilience when many devices couldn’t access the internet.  We were very proud of the way they solved problems, remained calm, positive and supported the participants.  Way to go girls!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

The girls showed they could relate well with others both in their collaborative effort in creating and facilitating their presentation and in responding to feedback.  They participated and contributed, managing themselves in 3 other sessions on the day and took their learning back to OrmPS to share with others.  They showed curiosity in the google cardboard session and made connections to prior knowledge.  They were capable at solving problems when there were technical difficulties and constantly collaborated to maximise their own learning and that of others.

Next Learning Steps

Leadership Experience Learning Story - August 2015

Learners: Aleena & Ash                                                              Learning Coach: D Wilkes

Learning Area: KCs and Literacy                                                Date: Aug 5

Learning Observed

It was impressive and humbling to watch these two year five girls lead the entire year six cohort in providing a ‘Leadership Experience’ as a long awaited follow up to the NYLD that the Year 6s attended in Term 2.  Aleena and Ash co-constructed the presentation that housed all of the other learner’s presentations and they MCed the event like true professionals.  When the order of appearance changed multiple times they just rolled with it demonstrating confidence and resilience.  They selected some inspiring videos, facilitated a leadership brainstorm and kept the energy levels high for the entire afternoon.  Practicing their public speaking, writing and leadership was what they did while the rest of us enjoyed a fantastic afternoon of entertainment, inspiration and wonder.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Ash and Aleena collaborated on the presentation and demonstrated leadership capability throughout the preparation and delivery of the ‘Leadership Experience’.  They related to others and managed themselves like responsible young adults.  They were incredibly agile and resilient when faced with changes and connected with other learners, our special guests, learning coaches, each other and their prior knowledge.

Next Learning Steps

Ashmira's Welcome Video Learning Story

Learner: Aleena & Ashmira    Learning Coach: Bex Remington        Date: 23 March 15

Learning Area: iExplore - Creating a welcome video for OrmPS

Learning Observed

Aleena and Ashmira decided, for their latest iExplore, that it would be nice for the school to have a welcome video that could be played at reception.  Mohammed, one of our deaf learners was also wanting to do something for a welcome so Mrs Patrick put them together to see if they could maybe work on one together that would be suitable for the hearing and non hearing visitors.  Last week I worked with just the girls who were beginning to write a script and create a storyboard.  They said they wanted to make sure that it would be something that would be interesting enough for the visitors coming in.  Today I observed them working with Mohammed and Korai (a deaf Japanese learning coach who comes in every Monday).  The girls were talking with Mohammed and using sign to help get across their meaning where they could, Mohammed would then interpret what they were saying for Korai.  They were discussing different parts of the script and what some of the sentences meant.  The girls at times also wrote things down to show to Korai as another way to communicate.

Evidence of learning

These photos were taken when the girls were helping Koari understand what the saying ‘last but not least’ meant.  Mohammed listened to their explanation and then interpretted for Korai.

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

In this learning experience the girls are showing the key competency of participating and contributing through wanting to participate as a group and contribute in something that they feel is important to the school.  They are demonstrating a growing capability in understanding and communicating in sign language, showing they understand language, symbols and text.  Both Aleena and Ashmira show curiosity and a willingness to learn more about sign language.

Next Learning Steps

Finish their storyboard and script Complete their video and have it displayed in the reception area for visitors Continue learning more sign language and incorporating it in their learning
