Connecting with Manaiakalani (Hanga/Create) - Dorothy

Children love the chance to create.
Creating also helps to accelerate learning.
It is about deeper learning.
It helps students to be better problem solvers, communicators and collaborators.

Being able to access video footage of others being creative is a great way to encourage others.

Learn and Create go together.

Another way we can get acceleration is by ensuring the create is a part fo the learning progress.

Check out the slide about Create/Primary Schools Class OnAir episodes.

Elwin Richardson - investigated the process of creativity

We plan, but don't often do the hands-on practical implementation for creative thinking/mindsets.

<If the hands are involved, the head really gets going>

If it's not in your plan and timetabled, it's not going to happen.

You can't make a movie if the students have been given the foundational skills to go off and do it.

At the end of their learning time the teacher leaves them with 10 minutes to record and share their learning of what they did that day using one example.

Live Streaming - is not schools want to get on board with.  Some teachers are engaged in this.  

Film Festivals - there are resources to help support this.  There is a Manaiakalani Film Festival.

Podcasting - uses the diverse needs and skills of a variety of kids.

Garage band is recommended.  You can also use Adobe Podcasts.  Soundtrap is also great for Podcasts and making music.

It's not about how much it costs...it's all about what you do with it.

Hold down shift to get a perfect shape e.g. circle.

Heaps of things you can do with Google Drawings. It would be great for portraits.

Chalk 'n Talk - Google Slides with Stacey Salton

Presentation Tool to a larger audience (Hall, Whanau evening etc)

What's your story-what do you want to do and summarise your speech in a tweet length (250words).

Plan, Plan, Plan.  Sumarise a slide on a post it note until you are telling your story in the best possible order.

Cull your slides.

Ditch the defaults.  Embrace blank slides.

Pictures really are worth 1,000 words.

Consistent formatting.  2 fonts max.

If you are on a stage you need large font, colour, bold.

If you need to read your slides you've lost it.  Go back and edit.  They are visual cues. Press /s/ and speaker notes come up on the side.
