The term Ubiquitous was also used. Although difficult to say, it is simply - Learning at Anytime, Anywhere, Any Place and from Anyone.
The philosophy of Manaiakalani is to remove barriers so that the child has the potential to learn in the classroom and outside the classroom after 3pm when it is the end of a school day. Digital Technology is not just a tool but enables the removal of barriers to learning and gives learners opportunities for new learning. Learners are also empowered by having a choice to learn from anyone eg. visiting another class site and being in that teacher's class whilst physically being in their own class with their own teacher. They can also learn at their own pace and go back to rewindable videos.
Being Cybersmart empowers our learners to be connected and confident.
Distance learning became a reality in 2020 for teachers and learners. Learners had the potential to be experiencing high quality learning experiences and effective learning programmes designed by effective teachers.
Looking back at the past Covid 19 lockdowns and reflecting on my readiness for ubiquitous learning...
I am proud of ... Having Meet sessions to stay connected with other teachers.
I regret ...Not Having a Google Class Site set up for my Learners to learn from home from their shared devices if they did have any. Having Google Meet sessions with my Learners to stay connected with their learning and their teacher.
What have I taken forward into the ‘new’ era of schooling? Looking forward to learners having their own devices to work at Anytime, Anywhere, Any Place and from Anyone.
Ka pai Anne. You're work on Explain everything today was great! Using your Class Site and Google Meet with your class while at school will ensure that the learning is fully rewindable. It will also ensure that if we go into another distance learning situation, students will be well prepared to use these apps and tools.
