PLG Meeting Term 2

I love these sessions! They serve as a reboot of the system.
Sometimes it feels as though you are constantly hitting a brick wall within your own surroundings. These PLG sessions are a chance for all of The Sharp Ones in our Learning Cluster to get together. We talk about what is happening in our schools. What's working... What's not... What we'd like to know more about... It's essentially a think tank in our own wider community.
Walking out of these sessions, I always feel reinvigorated with ideas and things I want to try and push in our environments. It gets the juices flowing again and I'm excited about what I'm doing even more.


The Invisible Classroom Book was discussed and is now top of my holiday reading list!
  • sight sound motion -videos interactive

  • Linked Ed (West Rolleston) - Paul Gibson - Ex Fendalton Principal
  • Be Funky tool
  • Voki - For teacher avatars on our site.
  • Yaldhurst Rimu Unit - optimising spaces.
  • Pat Sneddon uLearn - transformational journey improve student achievement
  • Thingaverse… 3D printer

Ideas?:
  • Writing/Mark segment… what if the class used what they had learned in the segment with Mark, to develop some writing around that in the other half with Cara and I. It could be as simple as blogging about it for some things; writing based on it; etc… It exposes Cara and I to the tools and learning that has taken place, whereas at the moment we aren’t aware of what the kids are doing.
    • Mindmup to summarise Reading activity.
    • Using the Go Pro
    • Create a Google Doc of links for Maths number knowledge to share among cluster. (collaborative Doc)
    • Assessment Folder on Drive - Will archiving effect this? Best way to share data? Idea of having individual IKAN sheet showing progress, however is this manageable? Is there a way to have this transposed from a main sheet onto the students?
