Data from WFRC shows the effect of learning being ubiquitous - where learning opportunities are available anytime, anywhere, at any pace, from or for anyone. This is one of the important features of Manaiakalani, where a big focus has been on ensuring all learners have access to their own device to expand and accelerate their learning opportunities.
We tried a digital dig on Chromebooks and used Explain Everything on the ipad. I can see Explain Everything as a good way of children sharing their ideas and learning with others, especially recording them talking through their learning.
Later in the day I tried to use Workspaces on Hapara to create some learning activities. This did not go well, and it is doubtful if this will be a method of setting up work for my class. I think that for me there are other, quicker ways.
Kia ora Wayne,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your honest reflection. I'm glad you found Explain Everything to be a useful tool to have played with. I agree, the ability for them to be able to record themselves is really powerful.
I'm sorry that Workspace wasn't working for you and I don't think there is anything wrong with having tried and decided it isn't for you. Your class is much younger and the site will do all you need it to without the extra faff.
Ngā mihi,
Sharon
