Computational Thinking
Empowerment is not only for Learners but also for Teachers. Without the four pieces of the Manaiakalani puzzle, empowerment is lost.
Today we dug deeper into where Technology is going and how it is exponentially growing. We discussed how important it was to keep our values. Essentially we are the ones in control of where technology goes.
As teachers, it is important to teach our learners to keep their values so that we keep our humanity and are not completely taken over by technology.
We took a look at the Kia Takatu ā-Matihiko site and although I have already completed many of the pīkau it was great to refresh myself with this site once again.
We also engaged with Code.org and Scratch and this has inspired me to hook into these over the coming week so I can upskill and really push my digi-club along.
Kia ora Taryn,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are feeling inspired by last weeks session. Just to let you know there is very cool coding and robotics happening at Rāwhiti with Elizabeth if you are interested in connecting as well as St Francis.
Nga mihi,
Mark
