I have really enjoyed Week 7's focus on Ubiquitous learning. 

This learning has actually been at the forefront of my thinking as I have had a child away and it was great to give the whanau her Chromebook and direct her to the learning that I had put on the site in which she could do while at home. 

                                  Anytime

                                  Anywhere

                                  Any pace

                                  Anyone

Technology is not just a tool -  it brings about possibilities to not only the children in your class but their whanau as well. It means that the whanau can learn alongside their children. The learning that the children do within the day does not need to stop because they have left the school gates, they can extend their learning far beyond the 9-3 school hours. 

Rewindable learning came into its own during lockdown and for me that was 6 weeks of hard work and lots and lots of new learning to deliver my classroom program.

Proud of: being able to offer some kind of routine for the children in my class through Meets, offering activites that the children can do with or without parental support, learning how to deliver activities.

Regrets: looking back to the the type of activites I feel that there was a lot of busy type things to do, I felt I was not 'teaching' them anything new. The learning was not ubiquitous as I did not know where to get the resources or know how to make the resources. 

What I have taken forward in my teaching: I know am able to use Sites within the classroom program and the work that I am setting is more rewindable. I am sure that if we went in to lockdown again I would feel a little more comfortable with the learning the children were partaking in. 

Being Cybersmart

We want our learners to become confident decision makers making smart deciosion within their digital learning space. 

My class have created their own smart footprint slide that shows how we are Cyber smart. This is an ongoing discussion. 

Todays create caused a little anxiety as we only use Chromebooks and do not have access to IPads in the classroom so I was unable to create a Explain Everything activity or an Activity in Hapara workspace. 

After a few deep breaths and taking the time to go through what others had created I found that I could do it. 

I was able to create an activity in which the children learnt about what sites are appropriate to go on whilst at school. As part of the activity they had to learn how to take a screenshot of the site they were on and describe why it was internet site they could be on it at school. My learning was to add in a screencastify of how the children can take a screen shot as this would be new learning for them 

I am quite proud of what I have made and will be using it in my class.
