As a Manaiakalani Cluster School, we follow the Learn / Create / Share pedagogy
We know that
- Digital Technologies that our students use Empower Creativity
- Creativity Empowers Learning
- Sharing Learning is a powerful way to get feedback and feedforward to improve learning and creativity
Background information Our students Learn, and Create DLOs that help them to consolidate their Learning and also help others to Learn from their creations. They share their learning with a world wide audience and receive feedback and feedforward to improve their learning and do better.
We know that Student Design for Learning Links to High Leverage Thinking Practices (From Naomi Rosendale's presentation)
My Question: At our school, are teachers providing opportunities for students to create multi-modal DLOs that help amplify and turbocharge learning?
My learning and findings will be around
- What is Student Design for Learning?
- Are the DLOs that our students are creating, one dimensional Artefacts or multi media DLOs with pedagogic (learning) potential?
- How could some DLO work improve literacy (and other outcomes) by increasing students’ awareness of designing learning for others?
- Are our teachers giving our student DLOs the nudge?
- Blog comments on class and individual blogs around the student DLOs - their quality and quantity
Sample: Senior Team Classes and Teachers
From Naomi Rosendale's School Leaders PLG presentation
Based on the learning from Naomi's research presentation, my inquiry will be around finding out about our students' Design for Learning that they are creating and to find out if they fit into the MAPIC framework which enhances the quality of the DLOs. Are our teachers enhancing their teaching through amplifying and turbocharging the learning opportunities?
