Sharing… from a cup of coffee, to tears. Sharing is an important part of connecting which has been around since the dawn of time. How social media impacted the way we share is huge. Many of which were established in 2005. Youtube followed this… their tag line is BROADCAST YOURSELF. Yet another option for sharing, which may quench that compulsion to share that many of us have. Manaiakalani work throughout the country to create more opportunities for learners to share with a wider, authentic audience… one of Manaiakalani’s original goals. Connected learners share. Positive thoughtful Helpful. Traditional modes of sharing are limited. In the digital age, it is unlimited and can been seen and shared anytime, anywhere, any place however with this freedom comes responsibility. Compulsory audience vs authentic audience… ‘people who choose to listen to you’.
Reasons Manaiakalani have stuck with Blogger: Blogger is functionally similar and visually
resembles the kinds of social/sharing spaces that young learners badly want to be part of.
Blogger is a safe, toyota corolla style of online platform.

Something else Gerhard presented about which made plenty of sense was having sharing
as a motivation for task completion… and that’s the hook. Share, to encourage the
completion of the learning process. Sharing what they’ve finished is exciting!
The prospect of receiving meaningful, thoughtful, helpful feedback is exciting, too.

Sharing to LEARN! Sharing the process is very important, rather than just sharing the
finished product. Encourage learners to share along the way.

I learnt about blog gadgets and analytics which inform you about your audience and who
is visiting your blog. Gaining a greater audience takes mahi, you can’t ‘sit back on the
beach and wait for them to come’ Gerhard explained during our Google Meet today.
I watched the 1Direction parody about Cyber Smart sharing - funny! Main message
was to keep your address and number off the internet! One important message from

This Pt England Example… wow, slide four is a child’s perspective of a well functioning
Site. I learnt that it is helpful when you’re designing your Site, to think about if you
want a theme. Consider how the learners will be viewing the Site ie. chromebook or iPad.
Do a plan! This way your collaborative team is more likely to be happy with the result.

In closing, highlight of the day has to be the complimentary colour schemes website…
such a handy tool to copy and use the hex! I may have already bookmarked it and chosen
my favourite mustard...

Prodigy Maths is described as a free gaming site which incorporates maths.
Google Takeout is a tool which helps you to transfer docs to another Drive outside your
domain… handy! Tim wanted to see the customised buttons I'd made so here you go.
Congratulations on doing yours, they look great!

Your buttons look very smart Josie. It must be a concern for some parents who is viewing their child's work and blogs and who is connecting with them online - I wonder how this is managed at primary schools?
ReplyDeleteGood question Willie. The blogs are owned by the school and the blogs and comments are moderated by the Blog Admin & teacher who have comments emailed to them. Teachers are taught by facilitators how to see Comments and Posts in Hapara and they can moderate from there as well.
DeleteBlogging and Commenting are essential components to quality blogging and are taught explicitly by the facilitators in our in-class support programme. This is our mahi in term 3 under the umbrella of "Smart Relationships".
Sharing on blogs is the way students practise being Cybersmart on a live platform.

Yeah great buttons and site design Josie. Good point about sharing to motivate completion - I know they do something like that at GGHS.
ReplyDeleteGreat buttons Josie! Glad you got the name drop in there! Was trying to remember the name of Prodigy math, thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteKia ora Josie,
ReplyDeleteThe header looks great - like the mustard or is it gold? I look forward to you using a class site and putting the sharing into action with blogs when it happens. You will be onto it!

Kia ora Josie,
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing the complimentary colour scheme site. I have already used it this week. Wasn't it great having time to work on sites and buttons and get things done?
