During last Friday's Digital Immersion PLG we used the following hypothesis, in response to the ongoing evaluation of Manaiakalani by The Woolf Fisher Research Centre, to ground our thinking and dialogue.
'The learn-create-share cycle generates opportunities to learn from texts and across texts and to explain/reflect/demonstrate that learning, through creation' (via Rebecca Jesson)
We took time to explore current practice while referring to the ‘Create to Learn’ hypothesis to support our thinking in response to the following questions:
- How often are you including opportunities for students to create to learn?
- Where and how could you include increased opportunities to create to learn?
- Teaching as inquiry - identify possible teaching and learning opportunities aimed at achieving the outcomes you have prioritised for your inquiry.
- What are the learning needs of your students? Effective pedagogy and the digital learning environment
- What are your learning needs? SAMR: scaffolding use of technology to support learning

This session included an opportunity for teachers to deepen their understanding of their Teaching as Inquiry focus and to consider the possibilities afforded as a result of creating to learn in the digital learning environment.

Explainer videos have been shared on blogs, Google Drive in our Google+Community, with colleagues and students. They will contribute to the documented evidence of each teacher's inquiry and can ground further thinking and professional dialogue with facilitators and school leaders.Videos shared on Vimeo
